Over the years I spent periods of time in various regions of the USA and found that the cultures all varied a bit from one another. People were for the most part pretty friendly but they looked at things a little differently, spoke with varying degrees of politeness/gruffness and had somewhat differing diets. It is after all, a large country.

I’ve also heard it referred to as the war of northern aggression.
I just can’t get myself all worked up over this. This flag doesn’t bother me any more than all the stupid political flags, pride flags or even college flags. If someone wants to fly a purple turtle flag I just don’t care. It’s not something I’m willing to waste the energy to get upset about.
