THE SOUTHERN COLONIES

Inquiry:
Is it okay to fly the confederate flag today?

GEORGIA

• Founded by James O.
• Last of the thirteen colonies
• Capital is Atlanta
• Tenth state to ratify constitution
• "Peach state"

VIRGINIA

• First state that was colonized
• Founded legally by King James
• "Old Dominion"
• Home to the Powahatan tribes
• The Virginia company's land

NORTH CAROLINA

• Founded by Virginia
• Named for King Charles
• Founded 1653
• Warmest of the colonies
• Royal colony

SOUTH CAROLINA

• Part of the Union
• Revolution started here
• Leading peach producer
• "The Palmetto State"
• Columbia is the capital

MARYLAND

• "Old Line State"
• Fredrick Douglass here
• 7th state
• Founded 1633
• By Lord Baltimore

It is our opinion that it is unethical to fly the confederate flag today because it represents European rule over "colored" people.
The big question is, would flying the flag be loyal to our country?
