That shift has been a long time coming. The Civil War is over! you in the South LOST!! Get over it. Even the Germans have been able to largely get over their past, although I understand that things are't exactly rosy there.

We have pretty short memories. The previous president was also treated
pretty poorly. However, we tend to dismiss that because he deserved
it. <snark>

There has been a cultural shift over the past 20 years or so that has
made display of the Confederate Flag less acceptable. We can try to
force the issue, but I think it's a situation where it is dying away
on its own. There comes a point where anybody displaying that flag
isn't doing it out of ignorance or pride, but because it's a blatant
message.

Not sure if we're there quite yet, but in a few more years it will be
a non-issue.

Trying to force the issue is just going to exasperate old sectionalism
issues that date back to the founding of the country.

If you want to change a culture, you have to change the narrative.
