Flags of the Confederate States of America

The rebel Confederate flag is the version most used

The flags of the Confederate States of America have a history of three designs from 1861 to 1865. The flags were known as the "Stars and Bars", used from 1861 to 1863, the "Stainless Banner", used from 1863 to 1865, and the "Blood-Stained Banner", used in 1865 shortly before the Confederacy's was dissolved.[1]

Since the end of the American Civil War, the flag has been used by white supremacists and have been controversial in the United States.[2][3]
