Why did the Georgia state flag change in 2001?
The Georgia state flag used from 1956-2001 featured a Confederate Battle flag, which some Georgia residents found offensive due to its contemporary use as a symbol of white supremacy. From 2001-2003 a redesigned flag was used, but was ranked the worst in a survey of North American flags. A new flag was drafted in 2003 and is still in use today.

What instrument did Lynyrd Skynyrd play?
Gary Rossington usually used either a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson SG. Allen Collins used a Gibson Explorer and Ed King (when he was still playing with skynyrd) used a Fender strat. Gary Rossington usually used either a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson SG. Allen Collins used a Gibson Explorer and Ed King (when he was still playing with skynyrd) used a Fender strat. 'Freebird' clearly shows the use of a Gibson Firebird in the second break. This is not the same as an Explorer which has regular humbuckers; the Firebird has slender single-coil Alnico-type pickups with a distinctive sound. Also, 'Sweet Home Alabama' clearly indicates the use of a Telecaster or else an old-style (50's) Strat on the bridge pickup. I believe the Les Paul/Explorer/Strat combo to be typial of live shows rather than what the songs were recorded with.
What were al the flags used by the confederate staes?
There were three different "National Flags" authorized by the Confederate government, none of which is the "Rebel Flag" you see today. That flag seen today called the Confederate Flag or the Rebel Flag is actually the Confederate Battle Flag. It was created by an officer of the Confederate Army, for use by the Army. Rach regiment of civil war armies had its own flag, which was an important item, not just a symbol. The armies used linear tactics, and the flag near the center of each regiment was a visible indicator of where the soldiers were supposed to be. The unit's flag was also important as a rallying point, if the unit attacked and was driven back. There is a famous Civil War song, "Rally 'Round The Flag, Boys" which is what the soldiers did after an unsuccessful attack. The Rebel Battle Flag, so popular today, was created after the First Battle of Bull Run (or Manassas), because during that battle it became apparent that the "First National" Confederate Flag looked a LOT like the US Flag, under the smoky conditions of thousands of men discharging black powder weapons all over the field. So, General Beauregard designed the Confederate Battle Flag for use by army units, a design which could not be confused with the US flag. Confusion over the flags was a serious issue, because it could cause "friendly fire" incidents, or cause troops to allow an enemy unit to draw too near believing they were friends due to misidentifying their flag. In the east, in General Lee's army, the Battle Flags were usually square, four feet on each side. In the west, the more familiar rectangular patern flag was used. Sometimes today people will call the Rebel Flag (the Confederate Battle Flag) "The Stars and Bars", which is wrong. "The Stars and Bars" were the First National Confederate Flag, the one which cold be easily confused with the US flag under battlefield conditions. It had a blue field with stars on it in the upper left, just like the US flag, but instead of 13 stripes it had three broad "bars", one red, one white, and one red. The "Second National" Flag was designed for use by the Confederate Navy. It was a white flag, and instead of a blue field with stars on it in the upper left corner, it had a representation of the army's battle flag. But because it was a white flag, it could be confused as a completely white flag signifying surrender, so a broad red vertical stripe was added up and down the other side of the flag from the field, and this was the "Third National" flag.
Is synyster gates from the south What is with the confederate flag?
I think it's meaningless. He doesn't use it any more, but most likely it was because Dimebag Darrell, one of Syn's biggest influences had a confederate flag guitar. I will admit, the paintjob on that guitar is really well done, and it it weren't for the hateful past of slavery and bigotry that the flag represents, it would be a pretty cool guitar to have.
What did the confederate flag look like?
There was no official Confederate flag. At Fort Sumter, when the Confederates captured it, they raised an odd looking flag that represented the 7 rebellious states. Later the so-called flag came to be individual battle flags for certain Confederate armies. To use a "modern idea" of the Southern flag, it best can be describes as gray-blue and red with crossed bars containing stars to represent states in the Confederacy. In modern times the so-called Confederate flag is denoted as the old fashioned "stars and bars" flag that for a piece of time represented the 4 year confederacy. As an aside, Washington DC had slavery until 1862. Those slaves lived under an American flag. The border states during the war also had slaves living under the Ole' red white & blue.
Why is fort Sumter's flag called stars and bars?
Fort Sumter is located in Charleston harbor in South Carolina. in 1861 South Carolina joined the Confederate States of America,and in so doing her star was now one of seven that was now repersented by the flag of their new nation,officaly known as the First National Confederate flag, its true nick name is the Stars and Bars. This flag is not ''the'' Fort Sumter flag. the use of the ''Stars and Bars'' at Fort Sumter simply shows that Ft. Sumter at that time after april 12 1861 was now under the joint control of the state of South Carolina and the Confederate government then sitting at Montgomery, Alabama.
