It looks amazing, but the old one wasn’t that bad, at least it was not a basic one. I wish other states with blue background flags will make such a change as well Visually, I agree. A big however; in its historical context, the previous flag was terrible. So pleased with the change. What is the historical meaning behind it? |

And what happens with the Confederate flag? white supremacy I know I'm not taking part in this contest, and it's derailing the conversation, but I saw the discussion about the new flag here and had to chime in as there were some questions. I'll put it in a spoiler so only ppl who care can read it If you drive around the southern half of the USA (from like Texas eastward), you'll see a flag being flown with the red background and blue X with white stars inside the X. It was the Confederate States of America flag. The CSA fought to keep slavery in the southern USA in the 1860s. They lost (duh) but the symbol became a 'southern pride' symbol so it was inspiration on a couple of the state flags. Since this represents an awful time in history to Americans now, and since it was part of a government symbol, it became a big problem for clear reasons. Mississippi was the final state to remove the symbol from their state flag; Georgia (the US state) changed their flag back in 2002 for similar reasons. States rarely change their flags. Yesterday Mississippi voted the new flag into existence. It has a magnolia flower on it because magnolias are Mississippi's state flower - which is a *cough* much better symbol to represent your state  but to get the "buy in" from voters they had to include the phrase "In God We Trust" on the flag so I imagine someday someone will complain about that aspect :X It's not illegal to fly the Confederate flag, but it has no place being flown on government buildings in any shape or form, and that's what this was about. |

And additionally, it would be flying the flag of a pseudo-country that has not existed in over 150 years.
