What did the rebel flag stand for?
The flag referred to as the "Rebel Flag" in the United States is typically the rectangular Confederate flag known officially as the Confederate Navy Jack. The square flags with the same red background and diagonal blue cross with 13 white stars are the Cavalry and Artillery flags of the Confederacy (the Confederate States of America). These flags were NOT official flags of the Confederate States of America but rather battle-related flags. There is a common misconception that these battle flags are called the "stars and bars" because they actually have stars and bars. But the actual "stars and bars" flag is the first of three National Flag of the Confederacy... doesn't look a thing like the battle flags.

What does the rebel flag symbolize?
The "rebel flag" is the red flag with the blue X crosss with 13 stars. The 13 stars represent the 13 confederate states. This was also called the battle flag for the Stars and Bars as it was the flag used in battle to identify the regiment. They also carried the Confederate States National flag, which underwent 3 different designs---one of which included the Stars & Bars in the corner. Today the Rebel Flag has become to symbolize Southern heritage, people who want to party, anti-establishment, Klu Klux Klan, motorcycle gangs, SkinHeads and a many other rebellious causes. If you look up KKK photos of the 50's and 60' you wil see NO Confederate Flags present. Only the American flag was carried until the klan was abolished. The new klan is not the same as it was in the past. The original KKK was mostly Northern men from Ohio and Indiana and I hear a lot of klaverns still exist there. During the 1920's, the Klan was a large organization that politicians could not ignore. Most of the members were from the northern states.

Is banning the rebel flag going against the first amendment?
Yes, the federal government cannot pass a law that infringes upon a person's right to free speech -- and displaying the confederate flag is a form of free speech. However, a government CAN remove images of the confederate flag from government property (i.e., redesigning state flags that include the stars and bars, etc.) Since the confederate flag has racist connotations, it would not be unreasonable for states to remove the confederate flag from statehouses and other government property. Private citizens could still fly the confederate flag exactly the same way that they are still allowed to display swastikas without government interference.

How were the colors chosen for the confederate flag?
Red, white & blue, same as the Union, although the arrangement was different. The Confederate Navy used a flag similar in geometric design to the Texas state flag or the Union (USA) flag, while the diagonal cross of the Confederate Army "Stars & Bars" bore a slight resemblance to the British "Union Jack," but in color it was the same as the British flag and the Union "Stars & Stripes." * The "Stars & Bars" was intended as a battle flag, but it was never flown by a CSS warship, although the Confederate Army also used the same flag as the Confederate Navy. Since the war, the "Stars & Bars" has been the unofficial flag of the US South. * If the question refers to uniform instead of flag colors, gray is the color of the Confederacy, although some CSA regiments wore blue early in the war, and some USA regiments wore gray. After the first major engagement (First Manassas in the South, First Bull Run in the North), uniform colors were standardized as blue for Union and gray for Confederacy, although Texan soldiers of the Confederacy wore butternut uniforms, a light brown color. Red white and blue.
