The difference between statist and federalist is odd you`d think they`d be different but they are total opposites.Statist is for the federal government to have control of choices for states and people,where as federalists are the people who want to be able to make their own choices for their state(s).Oddly enough the rebel flag did not stand for slavery it stood for federalists hence why they had some black soilders who fought with them against the statists.
