Flaggers (movement)

Group members carry the flag at demonstrations and other public events, and erect it on private land.

These flags are frequently visible from major highways, and have often been the subject of controversy and legal efforts to have them removed.

[1][2][3] Members, usually acting individually, also lobby or appear at meetings to speak against removal of Confederate monuments and memorials.

Some have come out against celebrating Abraham Lincoln,[4] while supporting the right of states to secede, i.e., claiming that the Confederacy was legitimate under U.S.

Responding in part to pressure from civil rights groups who threatened an economic boycott of Georgia, Governor Roy Barnes "ramrodded" a flag change bill through the legislature.
