Ocean City - A person commented on one of the Confederate flag spouts that she sees it as a symbol of racism. It is a shame that so few understand that the evils of slavery were hugely profitable to the New England states and slavery continued until 1865 in Delaware. Does the Delaware flag evoke thoughts of racism? Racist groups have hijacked the flag and distorted what northerners think of the south still, 150 years after the war. Southerners are not ignorant, second class racists. Though a major issue, secession was not solely based on slavery. Please study history. Reconstruction is over.
