No, it is not illegal to display a Confederate flag. It is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment.
However, if the purpose of the flag is to instill rebellion, initiate racial hatred or violence, or to oppress a minority, that is an actionable offense. That is why the flag can be banned from schools, police uniforms, etc.
The short answer: The confederate flag is considered to be racist.
It is not illegal, but it is against tradition and protocol and would not be proper. The United States flag flies on top, then beneath that the state flag, and then beneath that, the Confederate flag may be flown.
No, it's not illegal, although some people think it is racist and immoral.

The Union Flag was the Stars and Stripes. The Confederate flag was the stars and bars, representing many fewer states.
The flag was important during the war because it was a symbol of the new country; the Confederate States of America. However, do you mean why is it so popular today?? Most people are familiar with the Confederate Battle Flag. The battle flag, which is different than the Confederate National Flag, was the one carried in battle. Today it is known as the Rebel Flag. This flag has become a symbol of rebelliousness in many forms and many people display it to show they are different. It is used by the KKK and racists. It is still displayed by Southerners who like to show their pride in their country background.
