    Default The Forgotten History of the Confederate Flag

    https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/b...federate-flag/

    It explains the difference between the ''Stars and Bars''-the Confederate Battle Ensign, which most confuse as the ''Confederate'' flag today, what were the actual flags at the start at the beginning of the WONA. A little history for you.
