Why is there a corporate flag on the general lee car?

The General Lee, the iconic car from the Dukes of Hazzard, features the Confederate battle flag on its roof. It's not a "corporate" flag in the sense of representing a company, but rather a symbol that was chosen for the show to evoke a sense of the rebellious, Southern spirit. The use of this flag has been highly controversial due to its association with slavery, racism, and the Confederacy.
