It's worth noting that during the time of the U.S. Civil War, Oklahoma was not a U.S. state. Oklahoma wasn't admitted into the Union until 1907.

Oklahoma did not fight in the Civil War and did not secede from the Union.

The state has no history with the Confederate flag, other than its symbolism of White Supremacy in the 20th century.
