Behind the scenes
The Confederate battle flag continued to be used as a symbol beyond the American civil war, particularly in the 20th century, where it was used as a symbol of opposition to the Civil Rights Movement.[1][2] In the modern day, the Confederate flag is widely seen as a symbol of white supremacy, even beyond the United States.[3][4] Much of this modern context has not been mentioned in DWU sources.
