Various Flags Carried
in Confederate Parade
Is a Surprise to Many

The various flags carried by. the Con-
federates in the parade were a surprise
to many who thought that there was
only one Confederate flag. The Bonnie
Blue Flag" Ii symbolic of state SOW
ereignty and has the star of the state
in a field of blue. The Stars and Bars
was adopted by the Confederate con-
gress in 1861. 1t has two red and one
white stripe with a star for each state
arranged in a circle in the field of blue.
The battle flag. which is of blue bars
crossed in field of red and stars along
the center line of each bar, was de-
signed by Gen. Beauregard. because of
the similarity of the Stars and Bars to
the Stars and Stripes. Gen. Beauregard
thought this would prove dangerous in
battle.
Another flag carries the design of the
battle flag as a union on a field of
white This was soon discontinued be-
cause when limp 1t resembled a flag of
truce and the broad red stripe half the
width from end to union was ordered
added by the Confederate congress.
In North Carolina at the beginning
of the sixties there lived a man who

wars in the regular army. and when
the state seeded from the Union he
cast his lot with his state. Loving the
flag under which he had fought. he de-
signed one of the same colors and with
such similarity that the men of the
south mistook IL in the battle of Bull
Run, and another was designed and has
since been known as the battle nag.
