2nd National Confederate Stars and Bars Stainless Flag
$9.98
Because the pattern and colors of the Stars and Bars flag did not distinguish it sharply from the Stars and Stripes of the Union, it sometimes led to confusion on the battlefield. Therefore, on May 1,1863, a second design was adopted, using the Southern Cross” Battle Flag as the canton on a simple white field. This second design was sometimes called “the Stainless Banner” and is sometimes referred to as the “Stonewall Jackson Flag” because its first use was to cover Stonewall Jackson’s coffin at his funeral. The nickname “stainless” referred to the pure white field.
