Georgia State Flag

The Georgia flag has three red and white stripes and the state coat of arms on a blue field in the upper left corner. Thirteen stars surrounding the seal denotes Georgia's position as one of the original thirteen colonies. On the seal three pillars supporting an arch represent the three branches of government; legislative, judicial and executive. A man with sword drawn is defending the Constitution, whose principles are wisdom, justice and moderation. The date 1776 represents the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The Battle of Resaca was one of the few places where the entire armies of Sherman and Johnston faced each other in the Atlanta Campaign. Judah’s (2nd) Div., 23rd Army Corps & part of the 14th Corps moved from the high bluff west of Camp Creek, ¾ miles west to the valley floor & attempted to carry Confederate works east of the stream. Met by blazing musketry & artillery fire from Hindman’s and Bates Divs., posted on the ridge (east) the Federals sought refuge in the stream-bed & and mad no further progress. This tragic & futile episode is unique in the annals of the Atlanta Campaign.
