Battle Flag of the South (Small) 3'x2' by OUTBOUND
The Confederate flag, specifically the widely recognized "battle flag" (blue diagonal cross with white stars on red), was designed by William Porcher Miles and adopted in 1861 to distinguish Confederate troops from Union forces. It was never an official national flag but represented the Confederate States' fight for slavery.
Key Historical Points
Origin: Following the first Battle of Bull Run (1861), the Confederacy's first official flag (the "Stars and Bars") was found to be too similar to the Union flag.
The Battle Flag: The "Southern Cross" design was authorized for the Army of Northern Virginia, featuring 13 white stars representing the 11 secessionist states, plus Missouri and Kentucky.
Evolution: While not the official national flag, it was incorporated into the second ("Stainless Banner") and third ("Blood-Stained Banner") national flags.
Post-War Usage: After 1865, the flag was adopted by "Lost Cause" proponents to honor Southern heritage.
Modern Controversy: In the 20th and 21st centuries, the flag became a symbol of resistance to desegregation, associated with the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacy, leading to its removal from many official government locations
There are no specific Australian laws that directly ban the display of the Confederate battle flag, but its display could be problematic in certain contexts. It is considered a symbol of hate speech and may be removed or prohibited in government-funded workplaces or by institutions that do not want to be associated with it. Its display could also lead to issues in public, such as being asked to remove it by private business owners who consider it offensive.
While we do not condone hate speech in any way, we acknowlege that there are other uses and meanings for this flag.
We believe all of this batch was folded whilst it was still damp from printing and is stained as shown in the image.
90x60cm.
