CONFEDERATE IMAGE OF THE MONTH

March is Confederate Flag Month because it is

the month in which the First National Confederate

flag was adopted in 1861 by the Confederate Congress. It

was nicknamed the "Stars and Bars." In March 1865 the Third 

National Confederate flag was adopted by the Confederate Congress. 

In between was the Second National Flag which was nicknamed the

"Stainless Banner," which draped to the coffin of Lt. Gen Thomas

J. "Stonewall" Jackson at his 1863 funeral in Lexington, Va. Pictured

above is the battle Flag of the Army of Tennessee, noted for being

rectangular in shape. The Army of Northern Virginia battle flag was

similar in style but was shaped in a square. There were many other

types of battle flags, as well as naval flags.

Rifle with a bayonet on his waistbelt.

This image is a CDV (colorized) that 

has an Alabama provenance. The name

Jones is too common to determine what unit 

he was in. His dark cadet grey uniform is similar 

in style to those of the Tait & Co. of Limerick, 

Ireland that were imported in large numbers

through the blockade in the mid to late

war period. (M.D. Jones Collection)
