"`What's really pushing sales [now] is removal of the monuments," Kennedy told CBS MoneyWatch. "The general feeling I get from customers that call and email is that they are just pushing back at people who are trying to revise our history.

The civil war and slavery is nothing but history to me (my ancestors were all in Europe at that time). My feeling is that that was then, what was right then we've corrected and made it wrong now, and we no longer believe in slavery or any one race being "supreme" over another. That being said, I personally see the Confederate flag as no longer being a relic from the past but instead being a new symbol of political correctness gone mad. I think I'll buy one for that reason alone.

That is asking for trouble or at least a little vandalism.
Because nothing says let's try to work together than becoming more divided.
Can you point to specific efforts to "work together" that people on the perceived other ideological side have made in the past few weeks?
