Would having a Swastika avvie be acceptable, as it falls under "freedom of expression"? The Confederates engaged in systematic oppression of African Americans — creating and depending on a system wherein people were treated as fricking property, sexually assaulted, ripped apart from their families, whipped, beaten, dehumanized, and refused education (which was often illegal). Literally hundreds of thousands of Africans died because of slavery. This went on for decades. Even after the war we had Jim Crow laws and a bunch of other crap.
 * 1) I only had it because Derpulse was banned for it and it was quite literally the most ludicrous thing I had seen in 2015.
 * No, because the Confederates, my family, didn't try to conquer the planet, burn millions in furnaces and gas chambers, hold millions in prison camps, and try to systematically murder anyone who didn't fall under their idea of perfection.

I would like to point out that actually a very small percentage of the people living in the Confederacy actually owned slaves. Those that did were the wealthy plantation owners, whoever else was rich enough to have one, and people with more politcal leverage than the average layman. You are condemning hundreds of thousands of people for atrocities committed by only a few.

That will be all.
