I would expect something a bit more proudly stubborn from Dixie.
The tartan's colours stand for the three major branches of service (artillery, cavalry and infantry) in the Confederate Army, plus the grey, which stands for the "standard" uniform of Southern forces (although just as many of them, if not more, wore "Butternut").

While I respect your right to your opinion, referring to a tartan with such symbolism to some as "McTablecloth" rubs me the wrong way. Two of my wife's ancestors served with Louisiana regiments during the Civil War, and even though I would never wear this tartan, I still respect the meaning behind it.
