Georgia Enemies
Georgia elected a Republican as governor for the first time since Reconstruction. Perdue defeated Barnes in part because many of Georgia's white voters were angry with Governor Barnes for changing the state flag without a vote of the people on the issue. The new governor is now promising that the people will get a chance to vote on whether the flag will be dominated by the Confederate St. Andrew's Cross design originally invented by General Beauregard to solve a problem of battlefield identification (the Stars and Bars looked too much like the Stars and Stripes), or will be replaced by a new flag that de-emphasizes Confederate symbols.

They get to practice a form of slavery while simultaneously selling their precious state sovereignty to the federal government for a bag of money to operate their bureaucracy.

Trick is, convincing the court you are unable to comply. You don't get a jury to determine such a fact.
