And the North has changed. The South remains in the past, and that flag this represents that window into it. The USA changed, but the Confederacy merely represents slavery and racism from the past.

Slavery would've continued for a long while. Probably not to this day, but not immediately being abolished. You can see your bigotry in a lot of places. Clearly, that hasn't gone. You seem to think the Confederacy would recognise the UN, but I'm quite sure that they'd be on far less than friendly teems.
