The Confederacy is not a nation, it is a state, and to be more specific it is the only state in the history of the world to belong to the Dixie people. Dixies did not suddenly come into existence for the American Civil War and then disappear right after. They've been living on their land for centuries.

I could see iconography like the Rebel Jack signifying the vast majority of the South's history, but what would you say about honoring the government/military figures that are associated with the sovereign Confederacy, since they were in action for only four years?

Then again I find it puzzling that hardly anybody in the South regarded by the post's logic until the Civil Rights era, much less in the past decade.

So was Abraham Lincoln?

I have no idea what this means.

Agreed.

Essentially, that anyone who would be pro-Confederate heritage would have changed their mind after the Civil War was over, and therefore been rational according to the Facebook post.
