1 answer:

4 0

Mr. Dolphus Raymond is known as the town drunk, because he always carries his drink in a brown paper bag, and tends to sway a bit in his walk. Mr. Raymond is also married to a black woman and has mixed children. When running from the courthouse, Dill and Scout run into Mr. Raymond and he offers Dill a sip of his drink. Scout is wary, but Mr. Raymond promises Dill it will make him feel better. Dill takes a sip and discovers Mr. Raymond is hiding a bottle of Coca-Cola in his infamous paper bag. Scout asks why he does such a thing, and Mr. Raymond explains he feels he has to give the population some reason for his odd behavior (being friendly toward black people). Mr. Raymond believes it's easier for people to handle strangeness when they have a reason to explain it. Thus, he pretends to be a drunkard.

Which quotation reflects the perspective of most Georgia legislators in 1956 regarding the Georgia state flag?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:D

Explanation: Per the quotes of the flag designer John Sammons Bell, the 1956 State Flag was created to honor the Veterans of Georgia who were passing away in huge numbers, and it was to be a memorial to them and their service. Other politicians who helped get the flag changed stated the Flag should be adopted because no other state suffered so much as did Georgia because of Sherman's scorched Earth policy of the burning of Atlanta and March to the Sea.

The Flag change also was part of the lead up to the Civil War centennial initiated by President Eisenhower.
