Why is the rebal flag bad?
Well first off it is not a rebel flag. The war was started of state's rights. The north wanted a centralized government with power to control all states. The southern states wanted to have primary power over their one laws. So that each region gonna dictate law according to what they felt was right not someone 5000 miles away. There is often the mistake, that the civil war, or (War of northern aggression) was fought over slaves. This is a mistake. Most of all that fought in the war did not own slaves. They were following a tradition of US citizens which did not want some far away govt telling them what they could do. Look at a global map and view the distance between England and the East coast of the USA, and then the distance between the states ;) Saluting the Confederate flag is not bad, depending on the context. Saluting it in memorial of the people who died in the war is very honorable. Saluting it in the name of independence is also honorable. Remember your own heritage is likewise honorable. If your saluting it in a racist way then yes that is bad.
