There were no shortage of antiques up for sale at the annual Sussex Flea Market, but one relic of the past flapping in the wind caused a stir among some shoppers. “I passed one stall and I saw they were flying the Confederate flag,” said Katherine Piercey, a patron of the market. It was flying at the corner of a beige tent co-run by Tommy Mullin. Inside the tent, Confederate flags and bandanas with the same pattern were up for sale, alongside fidget spinners and bedazzled hats.
