Like you, I grew up in the South. I remember my high school flew the Confederate flag on the same flagpole as the American flag. It was a segregated school, in a time when schools were ordered to be integrated. I don't believe that most people who wear or wave the Confederate flag do so because they honor the dead. I think it's a symbol of hate and division, as well as a symbol of honor. I know it. No one is stopping anyone from putting Confederate flag decals on their cars, or flying them in front of their houses, but they don't belong over government buildings. For black people, they will always be the symbol of a bitter struggle to maintain slavery, and I would not rub salt in those wounds for all the historians in the world.
