The flag that is being dumped was ADOPTED in the 1960s. - SORRY but the “mainstream press” LIED to you & the rest of the public.= I’m old enough to remember when the “battle-flag design” was adopted.
The OLD/OGIGINAL MS flag had a MAGNOLIA TREE on it.
(Btw, prior to 1860, Mississippi had NO state flag.)

Every source says it’s been Mississippi’s state flag since the 1890s. If you’re actually old enough to recall its adoption, maybe you’re senile and thinking of Georgia and its state flag adopted in 1956?
