The rebel flag was flown in many forms but the first official rebel flag was called the “Stars and Bars” and was flown from March 1861 to May 1863. it was designed by a Prussian artist, Nicola Marschal in Marion Alabama. This flag was raised over the first capitol fo the confederate states.

Most weathered Rebel flags are a variation of the stars and stripes because most citizens did not want to abandon the United States Flag. Another national flag of the confederacy was known as the “Stainless Banner” and was fist flown in 1863, the idea was to replace the first one, which resembled too much the United States flag, this second flag is also known as the “Stonewall Jackson Flag.”

This second flag was very popular but after some time people started to think it was too white, and military officers began to complain that it could be mistaken for a flag of truce, and that it was very easily dirtied.

The third flag was adopted just before the confederacy fell and it was a flag with a red vertical stripe, it was suggested that the flag have nothing to do with Yankee blue and it is said to come for the people of the south.
