Should Georgia keep the Confederate flag in the Georgia state flag?
This is a very subjective question but I would say yes. I'm from Mississippi and they have the confederate flag in theirs. People have wanted to take it out of there too. I would disagree with that action because it's become a valued symbol of southern heritage. Some people would say it stands for oppression and racism, but ultimately it's how one perceives it.

The Flag everyone fly's now days IS NOT the peace Flag period. It is called the Title 4 Battle Flag. The American Civil Flag has vertical Stripes and can be seen on JFK's grave to this day. Flying the Flag most know as old Glory is a big mistake, it gives the Federal Gov Jurisdiction over your home and you period. The Civil Flag is what people need to get back too. Where did the poster of this question learn that the Flag we use today is a title 4 peace time? That is BS. The Flag in the court room is called a British Admiralty Flag and the one outside is the title 4 battle flag and was designated for Coast Guard ships and the Military only. man people are stupid.
The proper red, white, and blue Title 4 U.S.C. Section 1, Chapter 1 Civilian American Flag of the unity States of America with no yellow coloring or fringe takes precedence over all other flags because it is the flag of America the Nation, with an organic constitution. It has very specific dimensions that are defined in TITLE 4 of the UNITY-STATES CODE at CHAPTER 1: SECTIONS 1 and 2, it establishes the civilian jurisdiction for all courts in the united States of America, and its presence invokes constitutional authority. This civilian authority is mandated in almost all the State constitutions.
TITLE 4 U.S.C.A.

Section 3. - The dimensions of the constituent parts of the flag shall conform to the proportions set forth in the attachment referred to in section 2 of this order.

How many stars did the flag flying over fort mchenry have what do the stars on the flag represent?
15.
There are "official" flags of the United States. The Flag Act of 1794 increased the number of stars and stripes to 15 each from 13 each (accommodating the addition of Why_is_the_flag_at_fort_mchenry_only_have_15_starsand Kentucky). This was the only official flag to have more than 13 stripes. The Flag Act of 1818 would later reduce the number of stripes to 13. Vermont and Kentucky were added as states in 1791 and 1792, respectively, but the flag was not changed to reflect those additions until 1794. After 1794, the flag would not reflect the additions of Tennessee (1796), Ohio (1803), and Louisiana (1812) until the Flag Act of 1818.

I can't say why stars in particular were chosen, but the stripes on the flag represent the 13 original states. The original idea was to add both a star and a stripe for each state, but it soon became clear that the flag would become unwieldy. So, sometime after the fifteenth state or so, the number of stripes was fixed at 13. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the Flag Act. The act established that the flag of the United States of America would be composed of 13 stripes, alternating red and white, with a union of 13 stars, white in a blue field, to denote a new constellation. The white on the flag represents purity.
Is it illegal to fly any other flag higher than the us flag at anytime anywhere in the us?
The Flag Code is a set of advisory instructions, and while it is part of federal law, it is not illegal to go against it. There are no penalties for failure to comply with it, and indeed, that would be unconstitutional. In the context of the Flag Code itself, no other flag should be flown above or at the same height as the US flag (Texas is often wrongly stated as an exception to this).
