To my fellow Marylanders: Can we get rid of the confederate flags? Maryland never seceded from the Union. We really don't have an excuse to display it. We can't say, "We're just showing our southern pride." We weren't the south; that's what not seceding from the Union means.
Sure there were Marylanders (white Marylanders) who fought for the confederacy, but the state of Maryland was loyal to the Union. So, displaying that flag pretty much just advocates re-enslaving black people. Not cool.
Let's leave the confederate flag ridiculousness to Pennsylvania and New York.
After all, our state motto is:
We're Maryland, we don't support slavery, anymore!
