• Lot Description

  IN PROGRESS 
  8-star First National Confederate Flag. Original dark blue silk bunting canton measuring 48" x 52", with eight (8) white single-appliqued cotton stars (applied to one side with blue fabric cut from behind and under-hemmed). Field with three (3) original horizontal stripes, red and white silk bunting. Overall ()

  
  Nicknamed “The Stars and Bars,” this flag was adopted by the seceding confederate states in 1861. Causing confusion on the battlefield, due to its similarity to the Union’s “Stars and Stripes,” it was replaced after the first battle of Bull Run with the highly recognizable southern cross that is most associated with the Confederacy today.
