	Georgia State Flag Civil War Map of Battles History
		In 1902, Georgia's General Assembly enacted legislation stipulating that Georgia's coat of arms (i.e., the interior section of the state seal that shows the arch) be incorporated on the vertical blue band of the state flag.
		The new flag may have resulted from a 1914 law changing the date on Georgia's state seal from 1799 (the date the seal was adopted) to 1776 (the year of independence).
		Georgia's new state flag is based on the first national flag of the Confederacy (the "Stars and Bars") and consists of a field of three horizontal bars of equal width, two red separated by a white bar in the center.

	Battle of New Orleans
		New Orleans had been an important city to Americans for more than a hundred years whether it was in French, Spanish, American or Confederate hands.
		The secret transfer of the city from Spanish to French at the start of the 19th century precipitated the Louisiana Purchase and the expansion of Presidential power under Thomas Jefferson, one of the Causes of the Civil War.
		Upon his arrival in New Orleans late in the day on Saturday, April 25, 1862, Commodore Farragut found the city burning in places, with unruly mobs along the river and panic-stricken residents preparing their homes for an invasion.

	CNN.com - Georgia Legislature endorses new flag - Apr. 26, 2003
		The governor had pushed a two-tiered referendum process that could have led to the return of the Confederate battle emblem, a prominent feature of the Georgia flag from 1956 until 2001, when it was greatly reduced in a redesign championed by then-Gov. Roy Barnes.
		The bill would adopt a new flag design, a modified version of the flag that flew before 1956, which bears a resemblance to the Confederate national flag, or "Stars and Bars." In a referendum in March, voters would choose between the new design and Barnes' flag, which some critics have compared to a place mat.
		When he pushed a new flag design through the Legislature in 2001, Barnes, too, drew the ire of Confederate heritage groups, as well as other Georgians who thought the matter ought to be put to a statewide vote.

	The Battle of New Orleans
		It was a battle that changed the course of American history; a battle that convinced Americans they had earned the right to be independent and that their sovereignty would be respected once and for all around the globe; a battle that thundered a once-poor, wretchedly educated orphan boy into the White House.
		The battle took place during the War of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States on the Plains of Chalmette, approximately ten miles south of New Orleans on the east bank of the Mississippi River.
		It was approximately three-fifths of the present state of Alabama and one-fifth of Georgia, and extended from Georgia to the Mississippi Territory.

	CNN.com - Georgia flag bill faces new hurdle - Apr. 23, 2003
		A controversial bill that would give Georgia its third state flag design in two years was put in peril Tuesday night when the state Senate decided to fix a mistake in the bill's language that made the banner too long.
		The Confederate battle flag, which features a blue "X" on a red field with white stars on the "X," has become controversial because of its use by white supremacist and racist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan.
		If voters reject the new design, another referendum would be held next summer in which voters would choose between the former state flag containing the Confederate battle emblem and another design used before it was changed in 1956.

	The Black Commentator - Cover Story: The Battle for New Orleans
		New Orleans represents a challenge to African Americans, unprecedented since the epic struggles of the Fifties and Sixties. The perverse reality, to which African Americans must rise, is that the man-made disaster in the Gulf provides what may be the last chance to build a real Movement, encompassing the broadest sectors of Black America.
		But the ethnic cleansing of New Orleans will surely be accomplished in the absence of a mass Black movement, mobilizing elements of all African American classes and disciplines, the broadest range of large and small organizations, and the forging of strategic alliances with non-Blacks.
		We the citizens are the primary stakeholders of a re-imagined New Orleans.

	USATODAY.com - Georgia legislature approves new state flag (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia Legislature voted Friday to change the state flag to a version that echoes the Confederate national flag, but without the familiar Dixie cross that had led fl lawmakers to promise an economic boycott.
		Black lawmakers objected not to the Confederate roots of the temporary flag, but to the possibility of bringing back the Dixie battle cross, which was first added to Georgia's flag in 1956 when an all-white Legislature was resisting integration.
		Georgia's flag was changed in 2001 to shrink the Confederate symbol partly to avoid economic boycotts like the one targeting South Carolina, which flies the rebel banner on state Capitol grounds.
