I've always found it odd that a state within the United States would demand keeping the flag of a nation that disavowed being a part of the United States within it's modern flag.\n\nParadoxial in a sense.

I would suggest that you use, at the very least, a flag! A building front with a second story window, men in Confederate uniforms, rifle, grey wig would also be helpful.

The yellow fringe is only found on military flags, and the gold-fringed American flag is a military flag that represents Martial Law which is not subject to the Constitution. The one without is known as the peace flag of the United States and it symbolizes that the Constitution and the United States is alive and well.

Approval must go through Congress.\n\nLst year I got to meet Bob Heft who designed the 50 Star U.S. Flag \n\nhe designed it in 1958 as a School Assignment when he heard that Congress was planning to admit Alaska as the 49th State.\n\nWhy a 50 Star flag when we were ready to admit a 49th State?\n\nWell ebcause the majority Party in Alaska was different from Majority Party in the U.S. Senate so Bob Heft had the feeling we were gonna also take in Hawaii for Political balance.\n\nHe figured correctly and well a new flag is unveiled on the 4th of July that comes after Statehood Admission and well Alaska and Hawaii were both admitted in 1959 but Alaska was admitted before the 4th and Hawaii admitted after the 4th of July so a 49 Star flag flew from 1959 - 1960 (and that was the shortest lived U.S. flag in History).\n\nBob Heft got a B - on his Flag and his eacher told him the Grade would be changed if he could get Washington, D.C. to accept his design.\n\nHe accepted the challenge and well low and behold his design was approved out of Thousands and it was 1st unveiled July 4th, 1960 and is currently the 2nd longest serving U.S. flag (in 2008 it will become the #1 longest serving flag if no other State is admitted into the Union by then).

Purpose of the flag?...\nIdentification on the battlefield. Which side is which? Plus any flag is a rallying symbol for troops. As long as the flag is up and flying, you keep the spririt of fighting on. In a sense, that is why it is still flown in many areas of the South, that flickering link to an idea that nearly was. \n\nAlthough you can finger slavery as the core issue behind the war, much more was seen at stake by those fighting on behalf of the confederacy, large federal govt. vs. states' rights, the North's attempt to bankrupt the South by focing immediate changes to their economic structure, etc. The civil war was really the beginning of our strong federal govt - income taxes, forced conscription, federal minting of money, federal banks, etc.\n\nBUT, as far as the History of  the "traditional" rebel flag goes..\n\nThe best-known of all Confederate flags—the battle flag—is often erroneously confused with the national flag of the Confederacy. The battle flag features the cross of St. Andrew (the apostle was martyred by being crucified on an X-shaped cross), and is commonly called the "Southern Cross." A large degree of the Southern population was of Scottish and Scotch-Irish ancestry, and thus familiar with St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. The stars represented the eleven states actually in the Confederacy, plus Kentucky and Missouri. \n\nI hope that helps.

Unfortunately, I am going to have to indicate that the first part of TheWiseOne's answer is correct; however, you may be able to get one much faster than waiting for an auction to happen, and cheaper than one there would most likely cost.\n1.  Go to this website:  http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/call/\n2.  Click on the "find answers" link under the heading "Find the Answer - How do I...?"\n3.  Search for the term "flag."\n4.  You will find an option (it should be number 3) which reads, "How do I order a flag that was flown over the United States Capitol?"\n5.  Click on that.  Note that the price ranges from $13.25 to $22.55, plus shipping and handling.\n\nYou can also look here:  http://www.capitolflags.gov/\n\nGood luck!

No it is a representation of the American South, And being from the south I have had Confederate Flags. It is some people’s interpretation and pregidist of that that has made it a bad symbol. And I have seen people with confederate Flags speak out against racism including myself. As one person has suggested other wise.. So many people will teach you (and rightly so not to judge one by someone’s color, Dress, Religion, ect.) And then turn around and judge by the color of a Flag without seeing one’s own beliefs. It is when we a people As a human Race can forgo these misunderstandings for one’s background and treat all by their actions and not by any other means. Most people have a history roots to their past and want that respected as well it should be. But to truly be against Racism all people should respect another roots it is only then the Human Race can win. I ask every one of you   If you plant a garden of beautiful flowers would they all look alike or be the same?  Then neither would Gods garden. Be thankful we are all different how boring this world would be otherwise

Cut the Bigotry Bullshit. It's called a Rebel Flag for one reason. It symbolizes REBELION. DO NOT mistake a hand-ful of assholes for a symbol that can be used any number of 1000 ways. The flag is not evil, merely a select few that misuse it.

There was no one flag of the short lived Confederate States of America.\n\nThe first unofficial one was the "Bonnie Blue", which originated with the truly short lived Republic of West Florida. I believed that it lasted for a month and a day in 1810. This flag was popularized by the song, The Bonnie Blue Flag, which called for states rights and was one of the three most popular songs of the civil war in the south.\n\nThe first National Confederate Flag was called the "Stars and Bars", said to resemble the Austrian flag. It was designed by Nicola Marschall of Marion, AL, at the suggestion of Mrs. Napoleon Lockett of the place. Adopted by the Confederate Congress, March 4, 1861, and raised that day by Miss Letitia Tyler, grand-daughter of former U.S. President John Tyler . It was a horizonal tri-color red, white, red, with a blue canton containing a varying number of stars, ranging from 7 (the original members) to 15, including 11 members, 2 states that had representatives in both congresses, namely Missouri and Kentucky, and 2 representing those states which despite occupation by the federals, rallied to the cause of Southern independence. Most common were 11. Due to it's similarity to the Federal flag, it was one of the factors that led to the death of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson by his own troops.\n\nThe Second Confederate Flag, also called the "Stainless" banner had the Southern Cross as a canton (blue St-Andrew's cross saltire) on a red field. The cross was said to be due to the Scottish ancestry of many Southerners and the popularity of "Ivanhoe" and other novels by Sir Walter Scott. It served for most of the war as the National Flag of the Confederacy. Due to the large expanse of white, it was difficult to see at sea and could be confused for a flag of truce.\n\nFor the last several months of the war it was modified by the addition of a red vertical stripe on the fly. This was called the Third Confederate Flag or Last Confederate Flag. The canton was a Naval Jack. In a square design, with a pink, orange and finally white 2" border, it was used by the Army of Northern Virginia, the main army of the South, led by Robert E. Lee, as a cavalry, artillery and infantry battle flag, depending on size (39",45" or 51" square). This would have been the one that saw the most use as it was employed by the largest number of units and involved in the largest number of battles. The pink and orange borders used bunting captured at the naval yard in Norfolk. Upon production of material in the South, white was used. One of the first two flags given to General Lee was sewn by two sisters from Alexander, Va. The other was sewn by their cousin, a Miss Carey in occupied territory (Baltimore, Md).\n\nIn a 3' x 5' shape, the Naval Jack was used by the Army of Tennessee, one of the main forces in the Western field of operations. The Stars and Bars with 18 stars (13 white representing the 13 states and 5 red, representing the five civilized nations - Indians that fought for the confederacy) was the last one to be used in the field by the last Confederate General to surrender with the Cherokee brigade.\n \nIn Montgomery, in 1931, a marble tablet was dedicated at the capitol building, commemorating the raising of the first Confederate flag. It reads:\n"From the dome of this Building, the First Capital, floated the First Flag of the Confederacy, known as the 'Stars and Bars' designed by Nicola Marschall of Marion, AL, at the suggestion of Mrs. Napoleon Lockett of the place. Adopted by the Confederate Congress, March 4, 1861, and raised that day by Miss Letitia Tyler, grand-daughter of former U.S. President John Tyler."\n\nThis monument, in front of the Perry County Courthouse, reads:\nIn Honor of Nicola Marschall\n1829-1917\nWho designed at Marion, Ala. \nthe Stars and Bars \nfirst official flag adopted \nby the Confederate \nStates of America, at\nMo

LOL glad we got all the ugly stuff out of the way first.\n\nWell this is a very good question. I am going to have to surf on some Georgia info I see. Maybe they will be the example for others to follow. One way or another something has to give.\n\nThe reason our government isnt handeling it as of yet? They are owned by corporations now, just as our media is. Sad but true. Corporation's are behind the tremendious backing going on at the moment. To pay for the massive propaganda that is being put out to the American public. Many of us have been very active the last few days, in areas of repeated emails to congress and the president over the issues and how we REALLY feel and VOTE on it. A quite bombardment. Internet polls all reflect 95% against Amnesty. So its coming down to who shouts the loudest and has access to all the forms of media to inform those not on the internet. Yes many many are beyond outradge at their lack of protection and responsibilty to these matters.\n\nThere has been a large increase at the boarders. Minuetmen are very much in need of more members. My guess is that National guard will end up the next alternative. But, to be honest that is what they are for. Protecting OUR country. And were not meant to be sent overseas.\n\nThis is one area we may have been underestimated in. The American drive when they want something and when they have been threatened. And as of late their biggest tactic besides lies and propaganda has been threats and intimadation. Americans don't take to well to demands and threats.\n\nPlease email me some website links about the changes being made in Georgia and how they are being made.
