Confederate flags for sale here.
These are historical flags of the US which represent southern heritage to millions around the world.

Rebel flag, the name conjures up a rectangular red flag with a blue in white cross and 13 stars in the blue, like on Dukes of Hazard.

However there are many flags that are “rebel” flags or flags of the Confederate States of America, those states that, mostly, separated from the union during the US Civil War.  Sometimes called the battle flag (of the Army of Northern Virginia).

The ACTUAL Battle flags are square and the above rectangular picture is also referred to as the Confederate Naval Jack. BUT the Battle flag design has been changed into various sizes. It is also called the Southern Cross, incorrectly called the Stars and Bars or simply Confederate Flag.  In truth there is no, singular, Confederate Flag.  There are many flags of the Confederate States of America, plus regimental flags, artillery flags, Calvary flags, naval jacks and headquarters flags.

While major flag manufacturers have ceased production of US historical flags of the confederacy, they carry slave owning state flags of the Union such as New Jersey. We believe that the Confederacy was a story of states rights, freedom of thought and independence as Lincoln did not free northern slaves in the Emancipation act. 
We also have Confederate 1st, 2nd, and 3rd National Flags in our Confederate States of America Collection as well as many regimental flags such as the Forrest Flag, 4th Kentucky Orphan Flag, Texas Battle Flag, Georgia Battle Flag, Ft Fisher Flag, and Hoods Brigade. And many, many more available. Use the search bar in top of our site to find specific items of interest. Still can’t find it? Contact Us and we will gladly help you.

4. When was the Confederate flag first used?

The first official Confederate national flag, known as the Stars and Bars, was adopted in 1861. The better-known Confederate battle flag was developed shortly afterward because the first national flag could be confused with the United States flag on the battlefield.

5. Who designed the Confederate battle flag?

The Confederate battle flag design is commonly associated with William Porcher Miles, a South Carolina politician and Confederate officer. General P. G. T. Beauregard also played an important role in pushing for a more distinct battlefield flag.

The Confederacy used three official national flags: the First National Flag, known as the Stars and Bars; the Second National Flag, known as the Stainless Banner; and the Third National Flag, sometimes called the Blood-Stained Banner.

11. What role did P. G. T. Beauregard play in the Confederate flag’s design?

General P. G. T. Beauregard argued that Confederate forces needed a distinct battle flag because the Stars and Bars could be mistaken for the U.S. flag in combat. His support helped popularize the battle flag design.

14. What is the third national flag of the Confederacy?

The third national Confederate flag was adopted in 1865. It resembled the Stainless Banner but added a vertical red bar to prevent the mostly white flag from being mistaken for a flag of surrender.

15. Why did the Confederacy change its flag designs multiple times?

The Confederacy changed flag designs mainly because of battlefield visibility and identification issues. The first national flag looked too similar to the United States flag, while later designs needed clearer distinction in military use.

16. What is the symbolism of the stars on the Confederate flag?
