Image A - Original CSA flag

The others:
Image B - A Confederate battle flag
Image C - No idea
Image D - State flag of South Carolina?
Image E - State flag of Texas
Image F - No idea
Image G - A Muslim crescent? No idea


Do recent developments mean the "Dukes of Hazzard" cannot be televised in South Carolina?

I believe it is A.
Image D was on the Bandit's car, E is my favorite state, and F is Liberia.

add-on trivia question:

What is the name of the cross and origin of the cross used in the Confederate battle flag ?

The thing that spawned this thread is my annoyance with people referring to the Confederate battle flag as just the "confederate flag." This mistake has been made on the news hundreds of times lately.

I'm wondering now if I committed some breach of etiquette since this is not my thread ... or if nobody knew the answer?

It's the cross of St. Andrews, a Scottish thing. The reason for this choice is complicated

Watching golf today and the Scottish players' icon on the leader board is the St. Andrew's cross.

What a bunch of racists!
