what are the colors of the flag
What do the colors mean on the Confederate Battle Flag? The Confederate flag today was the last of four flags flown by the Confederacy. While design of the flags changed, each flagused the same colors as the American flag: red, white and blue. This decision is credited to Southern Gen. Pierre GustaveToutant Beauregard. The Confederate flag in all its designs flew from 1861 to 1865, first flying in South Carolina.
