Correct answer: E only.
Explanation: Historians agree the 1956 change — which added the Confederate battle emblem — was driven largely by white legislators’ opposition to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision and rising federal pressure to desegregate. It was intended as a symbol of defiance toward desegregation, not as a statement of “democracy and freedom,” a bid for aesthetic popularity, a gubernatorial veto, or a gesture of national unity.
