There are many ways that people connect with their heritage. Civil war flags can provide that connection for some. As a symbol of the region's history, these flags stir a feeling of pride in those whose ancestors attempted to secede from the union of the United States during the American Civil War during the latter part of the nineteenth century.
There are a number of people with no direct family connection, yet they are drawn to these symbols by the rebellion and anarchy that they feel they represent. Often called a rebel flag, this flag is favored by those would prefer a smaller, less intrusive style of federal government. These types of people prefer to be left alone to live life according to their own moral compasses. While for others, the allure is the historical era that the flag represents.
An offensive image for some, it remains a historical treasure in the eyes of many others. It serves as a reminder of ancestors who held strong in their beliefs and fought against what they felt was a tyrannical government at the time. It flies proudly outside many homes in a place of honor, denoting the owner's pride in his southern roots.
It can also be found for sale on many items. T-shirts are popular items worn by both males and females which also incorporate catchy phrases. Ball caps with this symbol are another unisex item that is commonly worn. Wallets, key chains and purses would be a close second. It even can be easily found on many popular novelty items.
If a person chooses to, there are many body adornments as well. Body piercings of all types and sizes are easily found such as navel rings or gauges for the ears. For those with less permanent taste, traditional jewelry such as rings and necklaces with matching earrings are also available. A peaceful morning can even be spent sipping coffee from one's rebel flag coffee mug.
Pocket knives proudly showing the emblem are popular as well with the men. At a carnival, prizes often include tiny versions of the rebel flag. Novelty items found there often have imprinted the flag on items such as ashtrays, sunglasses and belt buckles too. It is truly possible for dress so that every item from head to toe to shows this symbol if a person wishes to do so.
With such a rich history and family connections that endure through many generations, the flag is a viable and important part of this region's past. It is worn or flown with pride by a multitude of people. When a person is born southern, it is seen often throughout life. Many people no longer relate to it as a symbol of slavery, but only as a symbol of those who stood up for their beliefs.
Civil war flags still carry a rich and warm heritage for a great number of people in the United States. They will remain a popular folk item for generations to come. As southern as sweet tea and cornbread, there are those who may not understand their allure, but they will always have a special place in the hearts of many people across the country.
