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.

Pvt. John Jones holding his Enfield
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)
