The following flags were used by the Confederate States of America. Although they have not been in official use since the end of the American Civil War, some residents of the Southern United States and some Americans in other regions continue to use the flags as a symbol of their history and Confederate flags are also used by members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist and hate groups. The Confederate battle flag (see below) was flown (until recently) over the South Carolina State House. It now flies over a monument on the state house grounds. The design of the Confederate flags was also incorporated into the state flags of Mississippi and Georgia but was recently removed from the latter.

National flags


First National Flag, "The Stars and Bars"

The first official flag of the Confederacy was The Stars and Bars, which was flown from March 5, 1861 to May 1863. It caused confusion on the battlefield because it was so similar to the Stars and Stripes of the Union forces. Eventually, a total of thirteen stars would be shown on the flag.

Second National Flag, "The Stainless Banner"

The second national flag of the Confederacy was The Stainless Banner, which was put into service on May 1, 1863. To avoid battlefield confusion between the Stars and Bars with the Union's Stars and Stripes, this new flag was designed with the battle flag placed in the first quarter. This flag, however, had its own problem: when the battlefield was windless, it was sometimes mistaken for a flag of truce or surrender because the white field often concealed the first quarter.
