What does the Confederate flag look like?
Red background... blue diagonal cross with stars inside the cross. The above description is of the Battle Flag carried by regiments in battle. Each regiment(Confederate or Union) carried one National Flag and one Regimental battle flag. The Union carried the Stars & Stripes and the regimental flag was usually Blue with an eagle for infantry. The Confederates carried their National Flag and a battle flag, which has been called the "Stars & Bars" or the "Rebel Flag". The National Flag of the Confederates States of America went through 3 variations. The 1st National Flag was an all white flag with upper corner having the Red square with the blue "X" cross with 13 stars---or a miniature of the battle flag. This flag had too much White in it and resembled a surrender flag. The 2nd National Flag was RED with one horizontal White bar that divided the flag into 3 equal stripes. The upper corner had a Blue field with 11 white stars in a circle. This flag resembled the Union Stars and Stripes from a distance. Again, caused confusion on the battlefield. The 3rd National Flag was a white flag with a wide Red vertical stripe on the outside edge. The upper corner again had the Rebel "Stars & Bars" emblem. The Battle Flag carried by the regiments varied greatly. Most were square instead of being rectangular. Many were the "Stars & Bars" as described above. This flag was typical for regiments in Virginia. The regiment would record their battle record by sewing on the names of the places where they fought. These were added in the red field or sometimes on the wide white borders along the edge or the cross. Many units created battle flags based on their State's flag or crest. Texas flags resembled the current Texas State flag. Battle flags of South Carolina had the Palmetto tree, Louisianna flags had the pelican. General Hardee adopted a flag for his regiments that was a dark Blue flag with a round White circle in the center and a wide White trim. This became known as the "Hardee flag" and was prevelant among units in what became the Army of Tenessee commanded by General Brag. These flags would have the units name in the white circle and their victories along the white border or on the blue field. Custermen
