Confederate Flag means Treason

I continue to see the Confederate Flag on people's cars, flying beside the highway-in VA or in Arizona a person flying the US and Confederate Flag at the same time. Many people who fly the Confederate Flag say they love their country. I know to African Americans the Confederate Flag means racism and slavery. I agree but will add that anyone who flys the Confederate Flag, it means Treason. Johnny Reb-reb is short for rebel. The Confederate States of America fought the US in a 4 year war. They committed treason by all definitions. The military men had to pledge an oath to the US and agree to come into the Union. Many felt that they were allowed to come back and be citizens too easily. That is not for this discussion but Conderates are rebels and supported treason. We need to remember this, and not to glorify the treason. How can anyone say they love their country and support treason and war with the US? Yes this is part of our history but not to be glorified and seen as a positive. When I hear the Civil War was the War of Northern Aggression, I can tell this person loves the Confederacy and beleived in Treason, probably today. If I hear nullification, again treason and breaking the constitution. Most of the South and their beliefs lost in the war and there is other way to see the flag but as treason and not supporting the United States of America.
