>Has anyone really answered yet what exactly "Southern Heritage" is? I keep hearing this as a reason to keep the confederate symbol on the state flags, but no one has defined it for me yet.

Chris;

Well, we know that Georgia was a Penal colony. That is a starting point. Texas is the Execution Capital of the country and has a long history of killing since the Americans took it from the Mexicans. I am sure the list could be emblished with additional facts.

How about some new Southern Flags
Georgia = Iron Bars and barbed wire
Texas = Lethal Injection or a Hangmans Noose

Feel free to add your own concepts.
