This is an American made flag of our toughest, most durable nylon fabric. It has solid brass grommets. You won’t find a nylon flag with higher tensile and tear strength, yet it flies very well in the wind. It has excellent strength retention under UV exposure, and high resistance to UV fading. The colors are deeper, brighter and last over time, due to the aniline dyeing process. There is a one inch double edge fold with four rows of stitching on the fly edge. It has 1 1/2 inch reinforced stitching vertically at the fly corners, and 3 1/2 inch reinforced hem stitching (horizontal) at top of bottom of the fly.
This is the British Colonial Red Ensign Flag is a British Flag. The first version of the Red Ensign was used in 1621, by both the King’s ships and merchantmen. By 1633 the striped ensigns had been abandoned and Red, Blue and White ensigns were used by the English fleet to denote the three different squadrons.
The British Red Ensign Flag flew over the American Colonies after 1707, until the American Revolution. In 1707, Scotland’s Parliament, against the protest of many Scots, united with England and formed Great Britain. (The Robert Burns expressed the sentiment of many a Scot when he wrote the line, “We’re bought and sold for English gold, Such a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation!”) The Union Flag seen in the upper corner of the Red Ensign became the official flag of Great Britain.
Many countries that were formerly part of the British Empire used the Red Ensign and added their own coats of arms or other symbol to create their own national flag. Bermuda is a good example of this. This tradition even made its way onto a state flag of our own nation: Hawaii is the only U.S. state to still have the Union Flag on its own, symbolizing its own historical background with Great Britain (Hawaii was unknown to the Western world until British Captain James Cook encountered it on one of his voyages in the Pacific).
It should be noted that the current British Union Jack flag also has the red diagonal cross colors of Ireland, which is not seen on the flag. Northern Ireland joined with Great Britain to form the United Kingdom, the official date being January 1st of 1801.
In the canton, upper left, is the British Union.

Used from 1861 to 1863. This flag was first flown over the Montgomery, Alabama, capitol building on March 4, 1861. It was chosen from hundreds of designs submitted to the provisional Confederate Government and then voted on by the Provisional Confederate Congress.
At first, the flag had 7 stars, one for each member of the new Confederacy. Later, more stars were added as new states left the United States to join the Confederacy.
The flag was eventually changed because many people felt it looked too much like the Union flag. Some also believe that on a busy and smoky battlefield, the flag was easily confused with the Union flag, which may have led soldiers to follow the wrong flag during battle.
