Well it is a symbol of a few rich southern men who led droves of middle class and poor southern men to their death over something they had no part in and couldn't give less of a damn about, some signed up for nothing more than the promise of a good pair of boots, a rifle, and three squares. Unfortunately that's what a majority of war comes down to. Being twisted with lies into fighting people they have more in common with than their leaders.
