There has been a lot of talk about flags
and what is flying over South Carolina. Rightly so.
Yet it is actually Georgia that is openly flying the flag of the CSA
The first official national flag of the Confederacy flown from March 4, 1861 to May 1, 1863.
Flag of Georgia May 8, 2003-present
But then the flags of the CSA are legally equal to the flag of the United States
Provisions of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated
Relative to Georgia, U.S., and Confederate Flags
Sec. 50-3-9. Abuse of federal, state, or Confederate flag unlawful.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to mutilate, deface, defile, or abuse contemptuously the flag of the United States, the flag, coat of arms, or emblem of the State of Georgia, or the flag or emblem of the Confederate States of America by any act whatever.
