Sign of the times. Most, if not all these State Capital Flags, were put up by all white governments in the 60's as a backlash aginst de-segregation efforts. It was the South's way of giving the folks in D.C the political finger.

Quotes & the link from a post I saw. The flag is also known as "the Stainless Banner" and was designed by William T. Thompson, a newspaper editor and writer based in Savannah, Georgia, with assistance from William Ross Postell, a Confederate blockade runner.[2][3][5][6][7][8] The nickname "stainless" referred to the pure white field which took up a large part of the flag's design, although W.T. Thompson, the flag's designer, referred to his design as "The White Man's Flag".[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In referring to the white field that comprised a large part of the flag's design elements, Thompson stated that its color symbolized the "supremacy of the white man":[1] Second national flag (May 1, 1863 – March 4, 1865[17]), 2:1 ratio Second national flag, also used as the Confederate navy's ensign, 1.5:1 ratio "As a people we are fighting maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause." —William T. Thompson (April 23, 1863), Daily Morning News In May 1863, when Thompson discovered that his design had been chosen by the Confederate Congress to become the Confederacy's next national flag, he was pleased. He praised his design as symbolizing the Confederacy's ideology and its cause of "a superior race", as well as for bearing little resemblance to the U.S. flag, which he called the "infamous banner of the Yankee vandals". Writing for Savannah's Daily Morning News, Thompson stated: "As a national emblem, it is significant of our higher cause, the cause of a superior race, and a higher civilization contending against ignorance, infidelity, and barbarism. Another merit in the new flag is, that it bears no resemblance to the now infamous banner of the Yankee vandals." —William T. Thompson (May 4, 1863), Daily Morning News[2][3][5][6][7][8] While it is Wikipedia, there are footnotes as to the sources. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America#Second_national_flag:_.22The_Stainless_Banner.22_.281863.E2.80.931865.29We're all a colored race. It's the invisible people you have to worry about.

Now LaSalle county would not be all counties would it, If I were to mean Country, then I would have capitalized on it. ooohhh look, capitalized was spelled right lol

When did the government change the law to require you to have a passport to leave the country?

When did the government change the law to require you to have a passport to leave the country? I was wondering who and when someone was going to ask that.
