Do a good amount of the West Virginia population fly the confederate flag or have it on their car?

A good amount of us still have our British Enfields still locked and loaded by the door waiting for those damned Yankees to cross the river.

I've seen more confederate flags in Michigan, Nebraska, and South Dakota than I ever did in Texas, West Virginia, and Louisiana.

I am 37 and have lived in this State most of my life...I can recall a Confederate belt-buckle once...Oh yeah, I have seen it as the back windshield of a pickup truck as well. I've never actually seen the flag being displayed (flown) in WV, though.

There are a lot flying in Ritchie County because their football team is called "The Rebels" and the flag is used to show support for the team.

I fly it up at my place in Hico.

This guy is a worthless Troll. He joined 10 months ago and started this Gem of a thread. Since then, every single thread he's been involved in pertained to "hillbillies" somehow. See his original insights via the link, and ignore him. //www.city-data.com/forum/west-...dquarters.html

Yes, we all fly it. Sometimes we wear it when our Klan sheets are in the wash.

You're a lot more likely to see it flown in Upstate New York than in West Virginia, but when it is flown it is generally a matter of honoring history or regional pride, and has nothing to do with hate. Since much of the Civil War took place in these parts, there is a strong connection to that history and many families had people who were on opposing sides in that conflict.

Most of you buggy boys do not know the flag of the Confederacy from General Beauregard's battle flag

First flag of the Confederacy -

Da General's flag -
