The Confederate flag, specifically the "Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia," was first used during the American Civil War in 1861. It became a prominent symbol for the Confederate states and was widely used by Confederate troops during battles. After the war, the flag was re-adopted by various groups, particularly in the 20th century, as a symbol of Southern heritage and, controversially, of segregationist and white supremacist movements.
The flag identified in modern times as the Confederate flag was never actually used as a national flag. It was used as a Confederate Navy Jack from 1863 to 1865. It was, however, used as a battle flag by the Armies of Tennessee and Northern Virginia. It is often erroneously referred to as the Stars and Bars. It gained modern popularity during World War II.
