> All the state flags that were adopted specifically to incorporate Confederate symbols or commemorate the Confederacy are using symbols of hate. That includes Alabama (adopted 1895), Florida (adopted 1900, modified in 1985), Georgia (basic design adopted 1879), Mississippi (adopted 1894), and Arkansas (adopted 1924).
