I would add the confederate battle flag was also the flag of the army of Tennessee in rectangular format, in square format it was the flag of army of Virginia. Many units like thr 7th North Carolina etc also used the “Battle Flag” almost every unit in the Army of Tennessee and later the “Army of the South under Johnston used a variation of the “Battle Flag” also the flag is and was used by people across the south as a symbol of southern heritage
Just because I portray Union doesn’t mean I won’t got to bat for the honest southern soldier who was merely defending his home from what he saw was a foreign enemy invading country. I wouldn’t be surprised if I had ancestors who fought for the CSA, I come from WV so I probably had people fight on both sides
Learned something new here! Didn’t realize there were so many versions! Neat that was Lee’s flag. Shame it carrys such a negative meaning now when that wasn’t its purpose.
