In many ways, Georgia's history is integrally linked to that of the rest of the South and the rest of the nation. But as the largest state east of the Mississippi, the youngest and southernmost of the thirteen colonies, and by 1860, the most populous southern state, Georgia is in certain respects historically distinctive.
As more people settled in the colony of Georgia, the Spanish in the Florida area became increasingly uneasy at the growing British presence. On July 7, 1742, Oglethorpe, then "General and Commander in Chief of the Forces of South Carolina and Georgia", defeated the Spanish at the Battle of Bloody Marsh on St. Simons Island, removing the Spanish threat to Georgia. In 1743, General Oglethorpe sailed for England never to return to Georgia.
Georgia’s history as a colony, and eventually a state, began when James Oglethorpe and a small group of settlers established Savannah at Yamacraw Bluff on the Savannah River. But of course, they were not the first people to live in what is now Georgia - the colonists were befriended by Tomochichi and his band of Native Americans, who had lived in this area for generations. And before Oglethorpe the Spanish had established a string of missions along the coast of what is now Georgia.
The historical backdrop of the banners that have flown over or were expected to fly over the State of Georgia is a long one with numerous unanswered inquiries. Numerous planned outlines were never executed. Numerous statutory outlines were changed by configuration.
On May 8th, 2003, the new Georgia flag above was approved. The new design displays two red stripes, one white stripe, and a blue field upper left. The state's official coat of arms (on the blue field) is surrounded by 13 white stars, symbolic of Georgia being one of the original 13 colonies. On the seal itself, three pillars support an arch, representing the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government. A standing man with a sword was drawn is defending the U.S. Constitution.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Georgia State flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Georgia State flag for the future.
