re: How are you remembering Union Soldiers that died in the Civil War

2nd CSA flag after the first one was deemed to similar too the American flag.



On April 23rd, 1863, the Savannah Morning News editor William Tappan Thompson, with assistance from William Ross Postell, a Confederate blockade runner, published an editorial championing a design featuring the battle flag on a white background he referred to later as "The White Man's Flag.

In explaining the white background, Thompson wrote, "As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."

But yeah, state's rights.

But the CSA finally objected because it represented surrender.

How many flags did the CSA go through?
