Confederate Flag

<< < (3/8) > >>

MANBEARPIG.:
First Official Confederate Flag:

The pattern and colors of this flag did not distinguish it sharply fom the Stars and Stripes of the Union. Consequently, considerable confusion was caused on the battlefield.


The seven stars represent the original Confederate States;


South Carolina (December 20, 1860)

Mississippi(January 9, 1861)

Florida (January 10,1861)

Alabama (January 11, 1861)

Georgia (January 19, 1861)

Louisiana (January 26, 1861)

and Texas (February 1, 1861)

Second Confederate Flag:

On May 1st,1863, a second design was adopted, placing the Battle Flag (also known as the "Southern Cross") as the canton on a white field. This flag was easily mistaken for a white flag of surrender especially when the air was calm and the flag hung limply
Efforts to secede failed in Kentucky and Missouri though those states were represented by two of the stars. *(see note below)
The flag now had 13 stars having been joined officially by four more states,
Virginia (April 17, 1861),
Arkansas (May 6, 1861),
Tennessee (May 7, 1861),
North Carolina (May 21, 1861).

Third Confederate Flag:

The third Official Flag of the Confederacy. On March 4th,1865, a short time before the collapse of the Confederacy, a third pattern was adapted; a broad bar of red was placed on the fly end of the white field.
Confederate Battle Flag:


The best-known Confederate flag was the Battle Flag, the familiar "Southern Cross". It was carried by Confederate troops in the field which were the vast majority of forces under the confederacy.
The Stars represented the 11 states actually in the Confederacy plus Kentucky and Missouri.

Ignorant or not it IS a symbol of slavery and struggle to a lot of people.

Trauma-san:
^ Comments like that just make me FURTHER want to fly a confederate flag.  Fuck people's misperceptions.  Just because they misunderstand it doesn't mean I'm going to change my style, and since as I said the flag usually represents a rebellious nature, most people that fly the flag feel the same way.  "Oh, you think it represents slavery? Well, it doesn't, and I'm going to fly it, and dare you to accuse me of that shit".  That's the attitude.  

Ðøšïå:
cool good for you. so it doesnt rep slavery to you but it does to a lot of people. Where im from it represents ignorance. All the people i see with that have that flag and stickers on their car  are biggit white trash that ARE racist. One of my best friends is black and has been jumped by 6 of the people i am tlaking about  and they have placed ropes on his car.  So say what you want but that flag to me represents whitetrash in my case.

Trauma-san:
^ Cool.  You say the flag represents white trash to you, but then at the same time denegrate those people for being racist.  I think any fool could see you're a hypocrit.  



HOLLA!~
