The Confederate Flag Owners of New York

The ultimate symbol of the South isn't hard to find in the North. For some New Yorkers it's a sign of defiance, and for others, a source of tension that can divide a family.

“I think that New York state needs to break away from New York City. New York City has separate needs from here, it’s a separate world, and upstate New York cold be a very great place to live. Right now in the situation it is, we’re talking about moving down South to a better tax state. And the North isn’t for us anymore. And we kind of long to be down South."
