Question

3 After the Civil War, Georgia had a number of different flags. Many Georgians flew unofficial state flags. These flags had a blue background with the Georgia coat of arms in the center.

In 1902, the Georgia State Assembly changed the flag to include the coat of arms in the blue field. The Assembly made another change in 1914 when they added the year 1776—the year the United States declared its independence—into the coat of arms. The flag changed yet again in the 1920s.
