PLEASE HURRY!!!! Since so many contend that the Confederate battle flag represents a symbol of heritage for Georgian’s to gather
around, it is worth looking back at Georgians’ attitudes toward the emergence of the symbol. Only a few brandished the Rebel flag following the end of the Civil War. After the war, most Southerners declared that the Confederate flag should be furled and symbolically interred it into the pages of history.
Why does the author include this passage?
to show that the flag remained an important symbol of the Confederacy
to show that the flag was not used to honor Confederate soldiers after the war
to show that few people remembered or could recognize the Confederate emblem
to show that most Southerners disapproved of the Confederacy and its role in the war
