Is it acceptable to wear Civil War garb in public?

I wanna start this off by saying that I am a huge history buff... I am a proud descendant of the St. James Rifles and like to show off my southern heritage.
Through out this past football season I have worn my LSU #7 jersey and a traditional grey Kepi (example pictured below) with a 18th Louisiana insignia pin.
Now with all the success we had this season I did not want to throw off the mojo and change my gameday outfit up. I made it through the entire season without any comments/issues until the SEC championship game. I went to a friends house to watch it and his new girl friend lost it on me telling me that I was a racist and need to stop being an a-hole and insisted on taking my hat off. I refused and tried to explain to her that the Civil War was about states rights and not slavery. Also tried to explain that I was just honoring my relatives...
Is there anything wrong with what I did?

I'm as pro-Southern as they come and an ardent Confederate sympathizer, but even I know this is bullshite. However, that war was inevitable regardless of the cause.

He's not wrong. Slavery was the issue that was one too far for the Confederacy.

shite. I remember when my school (Dry Prong) was in the same district as Pineville and Peabody. Had some damn good basketball teams, but didn't sniff the playoffs.

Why in the world would you want to wear that in public?

They took down all the statues, so no one knows what Civil War garb is anymore.

Wear a Union cap and all is well

I don't think you're a racist. I do, however, think you're a weirdo.
