You are overestimating the frequency of such things in America. As Moni points out above, flag flying is relatively unusual, and I would wager that the majority of americans could not accurately sing the national anthem.

That must be a South Carolina thing. 
We still fly the flags here in Knoxville, TN and we all know the National Anthem.
You don't see the confederate flag here in East Tennessee as much as say west or Middle Tennessee. During the Civil War The Confederates had to keep 10,000 troops here to quell the population. Most people supported the north, though I had ancestors that fought on both sides.
One county seceeded from the Confederate States of America and declared it's self independent. It was Scott County up on the plateau. East Tennessee supplied approximately 30,000 troops to the Union. We are quite proud of that.
