About this stamp:
One of Georgia’s first flags was the secession flag of 1860, picturing a coiled snake and the words “Our Motto, Southern Rights, Equality of the States, Don’t Tread on Me.” For the next 143 years, the various Georgia state flags were surrounded in controversy. Some of these designs incorporated the Confederate flag, which many residents found offensive.

In 2003, after countless flags and years of discussion, newly elected Governor Sonny Perdue resolved to put an end to the dispute. The new flag consisted of the “stars and bars” from the first flag of the Confederate States of America, with the Georgia State Seal in the blue canton.
