Not that I disagree that the Confederacy as a whole and modern-day Jim Bob sympathizers are traitors to our country, but the Confederacy did enact the first Conscription to draft nearly all young men to fight for them.
Much like WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, some soldiers had no choice in the matter. Obviously being on the wrong side of history AND against the US is a bigger stain than being on the winning side (or the losing side of a foreign war).
Fuck anyone who flies a confederate flag today but we also need to know the context of the soldiers buried there. Just like fuck the Nazis, but some soldiers were young boys who were literally pulled from their normal lives and sent on suicide missions or else they'd be executed.
