Georgia States Rights Flag

This Georgia states rights banner probably dates from late 1860 or early 1861. It shows a coiled rattlesnake on a large stone boulder which bears the phrase "STATE RIGHTS." Above the snake is a ribbon which has the phrase, "DON'T TREAD ON ME." On the reverse side of the flag is a painting of the Georgia coat of arms.
