What is the History of the Confederate flag?

The Confederate FlagThe national flag of the Confederacy was established in 1861. The goal of the committees designing the flag was to make it similar to the United States flag, but different as well because the Confederates still endured a certain loyalty to the Union. The national flag kept the background divisions such as the square in the upper left hand corner and the rest in rectangular segments. However, they replaced the stripes of the Union's flag with 3 bars (2 red separated with a white), and placed the 13 stars representing the States of the Confederacy in a circle on the blue rectangle in the left upper corner. On the other hand, the Confederacy was forced to design a separate battle flag in order to diminish confusion between sides during a battle. There were many versions of battle flags, but the Virginia flag is the most notorious. This particular flag is now understood as a symbol of the Confederacy and is highly criticized to this day. The flag had a solid red background, and two blue diagonal stripes across the plane that form an X. The X was outlined with white, and the white 13 stars were in the interior of the stripes.
