The Georgia-Confederate Flag of 2003

Georgians, it is time to really fix our flag. 

Just in case anyone is confused about whether Georgia's current flag is a form of the Confederate flag, take a look.

Below is the first Confederate Flag (The Stars and Bars), adopted November 28, 1861. 












Below is the Georgia State Flag, adopted in 2003. 













Here are the two overlayed. 















And just to avoid confusion, we're not talking about the Battle Flag of the Armies of North Virginia, and other Confederate states. 
















So, to recap, we in Georgia currently fly the Confederate Flag with the seal of the State of Georgia stuck in.
