[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] Just for further clarification, the flag in question is not "really" the Confederate flag. The original Confederate flag, the "Stars & Bars" had a canton of blue in the upper left containing a rign of 7 (later 13) stars. This was in conjuction with 3 stripes in the order of red-white-red. The Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Robert E. Lee used as its regimental flag the popular design seen today (& on the "General Lee"), except that it was square instead of rectangular & had a white border surrounding it. This was quickly adopted as a general-use battle flag in 1861 & came to be known as the "Southern Cross" or the "Flag of the South." In 1863, the Southern Cross was placed in the canton of a white flag to create a new national flag, the "Stainless Banner." In 1865, a vertical red stip was added to this design. [/QB][/QUOTE]
