The Southern Rebel Flag, commonly known as the Confederate battle flag or Southern Cross, is one of the most recognisable and contested symbols associated with the American Civil War. Its distinctive design features a blue diagonal cross edged in white, set against a red field and decorated with white stars.
The design originated in 1861 during the American Civil War. After the First Battle of Bull Run, Confederate commanders sought a more easily recognised battlefield standard because the Confederacy's original national flag, known as the Stars and Bars, could be confused with the Union flag. A design proposed by William Porcher Miles and selected by Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard became the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. It was subsequently incorporated into the Confederacy's second national flag in 1863.
Although originally a military battle standard, the flag acquired additional meanings after the Civil War. It became associated with Southern regional identity and heritage, but was also adopted by segregationist movements and remains strongly connected with slavery, racial discrimination and white supremacist ideology. Its display is consequently deeply offensive to many people.
This large embroidered COMMANDO patch reproduces the historic Confederate battle flag design for collectors and those interested in American military history.
