To mark the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War -- April 12, 1861 -- the Pew Research Center surveyed Americans on their view of the war's legacy and released the results Monday. On the whole, they weren't particularly surprising. More than half of Americans say that the war is still relevant to politics and life, a plurality of Americans agree that it is inappropriate for public officials to praise Confederate leaders, and most people don't have much of a reaction when they see the Confederate flag displayed.
