Forrest Battle Flag – Confederate 12 star flag – Outdoor
This flag was used during Civil War by General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
Shortly after the end of the war General Robert E. Lee was asked who he thought his greatest general was. Lee replied, “Sir, a gentleman I have never had the pleasure to meet, General Nathan Bedford Forrest.”
Issued the 13-star battle flag, Forrest shortly after began using a 12-star pattern, with the center star removed, so that when his enemies saw it they would know it was Forrest on the field: psychological warfare, and it worked. His Color-bearer, Sgt Perkings, said his commander used the 12-star battle flag to strike fear into his opponent.
Fierce and incredibly brave in battle, he was perfectly willing to be at the front of his men, leading them into the fray. Forrest was wounded eight times and had 35 horses shot out from beneath him.
Forrest was so effective that Union General Sherman once wrote to Secretary of War Stanton: “Forrest is the very devil. If we must sacrifice 10,000 lives and bankrupt the Federal Treasury, it will be worth it. There will never be peace in Tennessee till Forrest is dead.” Sherman sent four successively larger armies after Forrest; Forrest defeated each one.

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.
