It can (generally speaking, there are definitely limitations) be freely flown in the US, however it is also an emblem that incites a tremendous amount of hatred. Sadly, the Confederate flag is frequently used by racists, just as the Nazi swastika is.

I dont believe that is an accurate comparsion

As a sort of compromise, you could use the first national flag, rather than the battle standard. You're trading some recognizability, but you retain a good bit of historical accuracy at least.

The Confederate Flag

The "Confederate Flag", a 20th century combination of the Battle Flag's colors with the Second Navy Jack's design. Actual historical flags of the CSA have become more obscure.What is now often called "The Confederate Flag" or "The Confederate Battle Flag" (actually a combination of the battle flag's colors with the second naval jack design), despite its never having historically represented the CSA as a nation, has become a widely recognized symbol of the South. It is also called the "rebel", "Southern Cross, or "Dixie" flag, and is often incorrectly referred to as the "Stars and Bars" (the actual "Stars and Bars" is the First National Flag, which used an entirely different design).

During the first half of the 20th century the Confederate flag enjoyed renewed popularity. During World War II some U.S. military units with Southern nicknames, or made up largely of Southerners, made the flag their unofficial emblem. The USS Columbia (CL-56) flew a Confederate Navy Ensign as a battle flag throughout combat in the South Pacific in World War II. This was done in honor of the ship's namesake, the capital city of South Carolina, the first state to secede from the Union. Some soldiers carried Confederate flags into battle. After the Battle of Okinawa a Confederate flag was raised over Shuri Castle by a Marine from the self-styled "Rebel Company" (Company A of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines). It was visible for miles and was taken down after three days on the orders of General Simon B. Buckner, Jr. (son of Confederate General Simon Buckner), who stated that it was inappropriate as "Americans from all over are involved in this battle". It was replaced with the flag of the United States.[15] By the end of World War II, the use of the Confederate flag in the military was rare

If its a map making based inquiry , why ask?
The nazi swastika appears in WWII Ardennes, so I think used in a historical context its
appropriate.

There's a partially covered flag in the background of the American Civil War map. The intent of the flag would be to portray an historical event and not a racist point of view, so it should be allowed on CC.

Qwert, does this mean you're back to making maps? (I hope!)

Agatha Chritie's And then there were none was first published as "Ten Little Niggers" in the UK, and I believe as "Ten Little Indians" in the US. The reference is to the nursery rhyme (in all three cases), which I now believe is called "Ten Little Soldiers". The title doesn't refer to the characters, except that they are killed off in a manner reminiscent of the rhyme, one at a time. The title was changed to reflect changes in attitudes and language. Probably not a bad thing, though in the case of the Conrad I think the question is more difficult.

Because I wanted to know (and it was obviously a good question, since his response was in the negative).
