In the Civil War, the Union flew the the Stars and Stripes while the confederates flew the Stars and Bars.
They did, but not the Stars and Bars you see today. Most of them flew state confederate flags, or this:
The confederate flag is still big in my home town. Hell a huge one was flown by some parents at my high school graduation.
No one I've ever met who displays the modern confederate flag hates the American flag, or hates America. They're just into their culture. (Which, no, does not have anything to do with slavery, no matter how many times "enlightened" city folk insist on the contrary. It's a lot more complicated than that.)

Do remember, a citizen has less rights in 2020 than in 1861...

Which part of 1861, and do you consider slave a citizen?
Slaves weren't citizens in 1861, but you knew that. So did Lincoln, who would have gladly shipped them back to Africa.

Yeah, so you definitely know you were excluding slaves when you wrote that post.
Now let’s consider the women ... do you consider a woman a citizen in 1861?

Do you think a woman citizen in 1861 has more rights than a woman citizen in 2020?

Yes.
Then, quite simply, you think wrong and your world view is wrong.
Male citizens may have had more rights in 1861, but humans in general, once you include slaves and women, on the whole did not have more rights in 1861. If you have to exclude slaves and women to make a statement on rights, that statement means little. -
