What is the flag of confederate?
The rebel flag the flag of the south.
What did the rebel flag stand for?
The flag referred to as the "Rebel Flag" in the United States is typically the rectangular Confederate flag known officially as the Confederate Navy Jack. The square flags with the same red background and diagonal blue cross with 13 white stars are the Cavalry and Artillery flags of the Confederacy (the Confederate States of America). These flags were NOT official flags of the Confederate States of America but rather battle-related flags. There is a common misconception that these battle flags are called the "stars and bars" because they actually have stars and bars. But the actual "stars and bars" flag is the first of three National Flag of the Confederacy... doesn't look a thing like the battle flags.
What does the rebel flag symbolize?
The "rebel flag" is the red flag with the blue X crosss with 13 stars. The 13 stars represent the 13 confederate states. This was also called the battle flag for the Stars and Bars as it was the flag used in battle to identify the regiment. They also carried the Confederate States National flag, which underwent 3 different designs---one of which included the Stars & Bars in the corner. Today the Rebel Flag has become to symbolize Southern heritage, people who want to party, anti-establishment, Klu Klux Klan, motorcycle gangs, SkinHeads and a many other rebellious causes. If you look up KKK photos of the 50's and 60' you wil see NO Confederate Flags present. Only the American flag was carried until the klan was abolished. The new klan is not the same as it was in the past. The original KKK was mostly Northern men from Ohio and Indiana and I hear a lot of klaverns still exist there. During the 1920's, the Klan was a large organization that politicians could not ignore. Most of the members were from the northern states.
What were al the flags used by the confederate staes?
There were three different "National Flags" authorized by the Confederate government, none of which is the "Rebel Flag" you see today. That flag seen today called the Confederate Flag or the Rebel Flag is actually the Confederate Battle Flag. It was created by an officer of the Confederate Army, for use by the Army. Rach regiment of civil war armies had its own flag, which was an important item, not just a symbol. The armies used linear tactics, and the flag near the center of each regiment was a visible indicator of where the soldiers were supposed to be. The unit's flag was also important as a rallying point, if the unit attacked and was driven back. There is a famous Civil War song, "Rally 'Round The Flag, Boys" which is what the soldiers did after an unsuccessful attack. The Rebel Battle Flag, so popular today, was created after the First Battle of Bull Run (or Manassas), because during that battle it became apparent that the "First National" Confederate Flag looked a LOT like the US Flag, under the smoky conditions of thousands of men discharging black powder weapons all over the field. So, General Beauregard designed the Confederate Battle Flag for use by army units, a design which could not be confused with the US flag. Confusion over the flags was a serious issue, because it could cause "friendly fire" incidents, or cause troops to allow an enemy unit to draw too near believing they were friends due to misidentifying their flag. In the east, in General Lee's army, the Battle Flags were usually square, four feet on each side. In the west, the more familiar rectangular patern flag was used. Sometimes today people will call the Rebel Flag (the Confederate Battle Flag) "The Stars and Bars", which is wrong. "The Stars and Bars" were the First National Confederate Flag, the one which cold be easily confused with the US flag under battlefield conditions. It had a blue field with stars on it in the upper left, just like the US flag, but instead of 13 stripes it had three broad "bars", one red, one white, and one red. The "Second National" Flag was designed for use by the Confederate Navy. It was a white flag, and instead of a blue field with stars on it in the upper left corner, it had a representation of the army's battle flag. But because it was a white flag, it could be confused as a completely white flag signifying surrender, so a broad red vertical stripe was added up and down the other side of the flag from the field, and this was the "Third National" flag.
What did Confederates call their flag?
The Confederate States of America had 3 different versions of their National Flag. The common flag most familiar as a "Rebel flag" was actually the battle flag carried by each regiment to help identify the unit. Each regiment usually carried their regimental battle flag and the National flag. Names of the National FlagsFirst National FlagSecond National FlagThird National Flag Other Battle Flags were designed based on the individual state from where the unit was from. Each design had a name, usually the name of their commanding general or the Army. Thus the Army of Tennessee had adopted a Blue flag with a White Disc in the center and wide white trim and it became known as the Army of Tennessee flag. The soldiers from Kentucky formed into a unit and adopted a flag that was identified as the flag of the Kentucky Brigade. Before the war really started, the first flag used by the early Confederate States was the "Bonnie Blue Flag" which consisted of a blue flag with a White Star.
