I grew up in New England it was always considered disrespectful or I should say taboo. I am 47.

And it should have been sadly New England isn’t indicative of America as a whole on that issue. But I was referring to late 60s is when we really started considering it

I remember at like 10 or so visiting outer banks and seeing a cool in my 10 year old mind t shirt with a bunch of designs but on the back was a confederate flag in the design. My dad was like pick another.

Somehow I never correlated in my mind the confederate flag and the general lee; thinking back now it was disrespectful to put on the car.
