Last week a group of historians from around the state said the Civil War clearly was fought over slavery. But flag supporters countered with a statement by another group of historians today saying the issues were much more complicated. Some people carrying Confederate flags tried to break into the anti-flag rally, but were turned away by police. At the pro-flag rally, a black man got into a shouting match with flag supporters. I don't care if black people had slaves.
Slavery is oppression.
