The CSA was an enemy nation to the United States, and although people have the right fly any flag they choose, state governments flying the flag would make it seem like they are in support of rebellion from the United States government and the start of another civil war, and to show the flag of the nation would be in support of their ideals, which are based around things like slavery and segregation.

The confederate flag is a negative symbol of a time when the country was split and another half argued over an inhuman right to own others, and the flag remains a reminder of those times and those who supported the grim cause

It is also a reminder of the racist South that used to exist in the United States which should never be glorified or rekindled ever again

Battle of Liberty Square New Orleans was fought between the White League and Louisiana where the White League were Neo-confederates who opposed multi-racialism

Yes people are invited to have their own opinions, however when those opinions put the lives of particular groups and ultimately the whole country in danger, that is when it becomes a problem.

The federal government should have less power over states in general. States should be allowed greater expression of the believes of their own constituents, so long as the citizens in every state have the right to know the laws of the state they live in, and leave and go to another state if they don't like them (this would still disallow slavery, for instance). Allow the states to become a marketplace of ideas, so that the best ideas will win and the worst ones will lose, free of federal government intervention.
