Smh.

How is that any different from Confederates who were born here and took up arms against this country?  How is that any less repugnant than you found the Brit to be?

Keeping it super simple here.  The Brit had only been in the US for a year.  She came by choice.   And to be fair, the confederates(born here in your words) did want to leave.  They just wanted the land too.  
Not to mention things were a tad bit different 160 years ago.  They tried to secede only 84 years after the country was formed.  It was the “thing to do”.  

And you’re all over the place with this confederate thing.  First you’re talking about the “racist flag” then not talking about it.  I’m assuming you live in Hilliard, Fl or something.  I don’t see all these confederate flags you’re seeing.  Don’t let a few nuts ruin things for you.   It comes to a point where you’re the one that actually comes off as the racist, to be honest.
