Cringe Fringe Weird Links of the Unknown Highway

Neighbors are upset after an old white man put up a bunch of Confederate flags in his yard following the Charleston shooting. Edward West lives in a predominately African-American neighborhood.  Many say the Confederate flag is a symbol of racism because the South did not want to abolish slavery — which lead to the great Civil War between the North and South of the United States in the 1860s.  The North won in 1865 and slavery was indeed abolished by President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.
