“Watson thinks the North didn’t have the political will to remake Southern society after the war. He sums up the North-South peace deal this way:  ‘ “As long as you [the North] give us the right to rule these states,” said the South, “we will not demand national independence.” That was essentially what it amounted to. And the North said “OK.” ‘ ”

In his Confederate-flag-draped office at the University of Southern Mississippi we talked about his recent stump speeches (“I’m a segregationist, no apologies, no denials”), his brief and unhappy tenure at Millsaps College (“It had assumed that since I was a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina that I’d be fairly liberal”) and most viscerally his fond recollection of the James Meredith crisis that wracked the state in 1962:

“ ‘You have people who look back at displaying the flag and singing “Dixie,” and the Old South was a place to long for,’ he said, adding that those memories are being increasingly contested by people who view the Old South through a prism of violence and human rights violations with little affection for the “land of cotton.”

“ ‘The support at this time seems to be for leaving the name the same,’ Taylor said of the Dixie Classic Fair. ‘Because this seems to have driven a wedge in the community, I don’t see a need to pursue it any further’….

The first of the Utah state flags came into use in 1903. It had the same general design ask the current state flag of Utah, but it used a simplified form of the state's seal that was depicted entirely in white. The flag only represented Utah for a single decade before it was replaced.

A short history of the Utah State flagIn 1847 the first Mormons entered Salt Lake City when it was still part of Mexico, and still remains the largest religious body in the state. In 1848 the Mormons founded a state which they named "Deseret" (meaning honeybee). Appearing on both the state flag and seal was the Mormon's emblem, which was a beehive. In 1849, the area was declared a Territory with the new name of Utah. The canton of the flag was changed so the cannon no longer appeared, and this flag was used until 1860. The state seal was adopted in 1850 and has a coat of arms consisting of a shield containing a beeehive with sego lilies on either side. The lilies were eaten by the early settlers when they ran out of food, and are therefore commemorated. the state seal motto is above the beehive, and the name of the state is below it. There is an American flag on either side of the shield, and the crest is an eagle grasping some arrows. Until the Daughters of the American Revolution designed a new flag, (one with the arms of the seal in white on a blue field), there was no flag. The new flag was adopted in March 1911, and changed in March 1913 to the present flag with the arms in color within a thin gold circle.

“The losing sides’ flags in these cases were most certainly destroyed. In the case of the Russian civil war, Watson said, ‘If you flew the czarist flag after that war was over, or in Communist-controlled territory while the war was going on, you’d have been in very big trouble.’

Until the mid-1990s the Confederate flag appeared on shoulder patches and other paraphernalia issued by the East Carolina Council of the Boy Scouts of America, headquartered in Kinston.

” ‘The Southern losers were treated with extraordinary leniency,’ said Harry Watson, a history professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill….

“The tomb of Ulysses S. Grant on Manhattan’s Riverside Drive was closely guarded over the weekend by damyankee police who had heard that North Carolina rebels, in New York for the Notre Dame game, were planning to hoist the Confederate flag over the shrine.”

The 1913 Utah state flag was designed by accident. The Daughters of the American Revolution had purchased a copy of the flag as a gift for a battleship, but the manufacturer had depicted the state seal in full color and surrounded it with a golden ring. The Daughters of the American Revolution proposed that the state government should adopt their flag's accidental design as the new pattern for all state flags, and the voted in favor of their proposal.

“Taylor’s discomfort with ‘Dixie’ makes sense to…William Ferris, senior associate director of the Center for the Study of the American South at UNC Chapel Hill: ‘It’s a highly charged word and, like the [Confederate] flag, it will increasingly be relegated to the pages of history in a public way.’…

Two oddities in this eye-catching window decal: the majorette’s uniform, which seems borrowed from the Confederate flag, and her face, which seems borrowed from a photograph (early Photoshop?).

“Two high-profile gruesome examples: The French Revolution in the 1790s that popularized the guillotine, and executions during and after the end of the 1920s Russian civil war that reached genocide levels.

The Utah state flag has been in use for less than a decade, which makes it one of the youngest flags in the United States. It bears a very strong resemblance to the state flag of Utah that is replaced, which had represented the state of Utah for almost a century.

Confederate flags

“Whatever the motive behind secession, once the war began the overwhelming number of Confederate soldiers, most of whom were non­ slaveholders, fought to defend their states, homes, and families from the invading federal armies. Such was the case with my four great uncles, poor dirt farmers who owned no slaves. Two served as privates in North Carolina infantry regiments and two carried the mail for the Confederacy. One of the former was killed in Pickett’s Charge and the other died during the Peninsular Campaign of 1862, thus becoming two of the 40,000 North Carolinians who paid the ultimate price fighting under the now much-maligned Confederate battle flag….

“The Charleston Post and Courier explained that ‘Its status is outlined, by law, as being under the protected purview of the full S.C. Legislature, which controls if and when it comes down.’ ”

“A Confederate battle flag hung inside the old North Carolina State Capitol to mark the sesquicentennial of the Civil War is being taken down after civil rights leaders raised concerns.

Utah state flags follow the same pattern as many other state flags in the United States of America. They have a dark blue field that displays the state's seal surrounded by a golden ring in the center of the flag. The state's seal includes a bald eagle, which is a symbol of protection. It also features the state's official flower, the sego lily. The lily serves as a symbol of peace as well as a symbol of the state of Utah. It is accompanied by a beehive, which is a symbol of productivity, and the state's motto, "Industry." The year that the state joined the Union is at the bottom of the seal, and the seal is flanked by a pair of American flags that represent Utah's dedication to the rest of the nation.

— From “Why is the Confederate flag still a thing even though the South lost the Civil War?” by Amber Phillips in the Washington Post (July 10)

“The Citizens Council issued a call for men to surround the Governor’s Mansion; they had heard the federal marshals would try to arrest him [Ross Barnett]. It was great. The women brought lunches and chairs, and there was patriotic music coming over the loudspeakers…Emotionally, it was the high spot of my life. For the first time I could really see how the Civil War took place….”

“I am proud of my Confederate heritage and proud to live in a state that still recognizes that heritage in its state banner.”

“As punishment for losing civil wars go, the South got pretty lucky. It got to honor its military leaders with bronze statues. It got to name its streets and schools after Confederate leaders. It even got to keep symbols of the war, like the suddenly at-issue Confederate flag.

What a contrast! One state welds itself to official veneration of the flag, the other leaps to erase it from even historical display.

“ ‘The South is evolving and considering its future and figuring how to best understand its history. And contesting those memories is one way to do that,’ Ferris said. ‘The word “Dixie” is part of that re-evaluation of what the South is and how it should be publicly presented.’ ”

The flag changed slightly in 2011 in order to fix another mistake. Most of the flags that were in use had been based on single flag that had placed a date in the wrong place on the flag, which meant that very few Utah state flags existed that followed the proper pattern. The 2011 law amounted to a change in the design because essentially every flag had been using the same incorrect pattern, and the flag has not changed since it passed into law.
