Flag Description

Seen during a news item on Radio-Canada regarding hate groups in Mississippi. Apart from the usual suspects was a flag carried by someone in KKK hood and robe which appeared to combined the Texan hoist band with a confederate battle flag at the fly. People appeared to have come from various states based on their regalia so the bearer could be from anywhere.

This is one of the "hybrid" flags which combine the Confederate flag with those of CSA member states. Such flags also exist for several states (see below).

Virginia variant

The flag in this series for Virginia places the Virginia state seal in the blue bar at the hoist. These flags became popular in the
South during the debates and arguments that began in 2001 over the 1956 Georgia state flag. In each case, the 1956 Georgia flag design was adapted to one of the former Confederate states by replacing the Georgia state seal with the seal or other prominent flag emblem from one of the states. I also found one for Alabama using the Alabama state seal in place of the Georgia as well as for Florida. The design for Louisiana uses the pelicans and the motto from the Louisiana state flag in place of the Georgia state seal.

The idea behind the flags following this pattern was to show support for and solidarity with the supporters of the 1956 Georgia state flag design. There is a similar design for Tennessee that uses the three-star device from the center of the Tennessee state flag to replace the central star of the official Confederate naval jack. Supporters in Arkansas have performed a similar design merger, using the central diamond device from the Arkansas state flag to replace the central star of the official Confederate naval jack. As far as I can tell, there was not one of these designs made for Mississippi, since that state flag is the only remaining state flag that incorporates a Confederate battle flag.

Regarding Alabama, there is another variant, with the state flag in the hoist and CSA flag in the fly, each occupying one half of the flag length: http://www.micetrap.net/shop/catalog/alabama-rebel-confederate-flag-p-4022.html and another one, with the swapped places of the two flags and word ALABAMA in center over all, in counterchanged colors (source http://www.stainlessbanners.com/flags.htm, flag photo listed as 30B).
