Other Southern State Flags That Resemble the Confederate Flag: Mississippi and Georgia-- Part 1

From the July 1, 2020, CNN  "Mississippi changing its flag isn't the end  of Confederate symbols on state flags" by A.J. Willingham.

Our good friends at CNN, always looking for another way to shear the Confederacy, had this article just a few days after Mississippi's legislature voted to remove the current state flag which features a Confederate symbol in the upper left hand corner (usually referred to as the Confederate battle flag).

CNN was quick to point out that there are other Southern (and former Confederate states) which have aspects of the Confederate flag in their state flags.  After looking at the pictures of the flags, I, unfortunately, have to agree with CNN to an extent.

GEORGIA

By far, the most striking Confederate (if you will) state flag would be Georgia's, which incorporates most of the old Mississippi state flag as well as the Confederate First National Flag in the majority of it.

This new one replaces two other designs.  In 1956, the Confederate flag was placed on the state one as the legislature was battling integration.  In 2003, with pressure against the 1956 flag rising, a new, very unpopular, ugly looking-flag was proposed and voted on by the legislature in 2001.  People didn't like it.

A new design for the flag was voted on in 2003 and that is the one used today.

As Confederadication continues.

So, Don't Be Surprised to See New State Flags in These States.  --RoadDog
