Question

Which quotation reflects the perspective of most Georgia legislators in 1956 regarding the Georgia state flag?

A.“Georgia’s flag should be a symbol of our resistance to federal integration laws.”
B.“Georgia’s flag should be a symbol of integration and equal rights.”
C.“Georgia’s flag does not need to be changed; it represents peace and prosperity.”
D.“Georgia’s flag should be updated to have a more modern look and design.”

Answer 1

Answer:D

Explanation: Per the quotes of the flag designer John Sammons Bell, the 1956 State Flag was created to honor the Veterans of Georgia who were passing away in huge numbers, and it was to be a memorial to them and their service. Other politicians who helped get the flag changed stated the Flag should be adopted because no other state suffered so much as did Georgia because of Sherman's scorched Earth policy of the burning of Atlanta and March to the Sea.

The Flag change also was part of the lead up to the Civil War centennial initiated by President Eisenhower.

All of the other 'answers' are silly, misleading and totally bogus
