common misconception that the confederates were racist. i laugh everytime someone is offended by a confederate flag being flown. the confederate states of america were not formed for slavery, they were formed for far more important reasons (civil differences between north/south, economic differences, also disagreements between the north and south). also, the US, during the time of the civil war, did support slavery until the constitution was amended. after the confederate states joined the union again, they were not permitted to have slaves, but maryland and a few others were because they sideded with the US.
there, the american public eduation system isn't too bad after all :-p
(note: i have no affliation with the civil war/southern states in general)
