GHOSTS OF THE CONFEDERACY (2001)
The American Civil War, which claimed more American victims than any other war America ever fought, ended in 1865. But the ghost of the losing side, the southern Confederate States, still haunts the United States. Whether at the homes of former Ku Klux Klan members, or monuments to the Civil War, or public buildings in the south, the familiar rebel flag still flies everywhere. In GHOSTS OF THE CONFEDERACY (2001) Christopher Morris recorded the traces of the Confederacy, which appear to be ineradicable in the southern states of America. Recently Mississippi decided to include the emblem of the Confederacy in its state flag. As a reaction, the black population practices their own rituals. For instance, the march for civil rights for blacks, organized in the town of Selma in 1965, is reenacted every year.
