3rd National Confederate Flags – 2-Ply Polyester

Sizes 35 Thru 58 Fully Sewn Two-Ply Polyester Third National Confederate FlagThe third national flag the ;Blood Stained Banner; was adopted by Congress on March 4, 1865. The red vertical bar was added because the pure white field of the Second National flag could be mistaken as a white flag of surrender while hanging in no wind. The flag;s Southern Cross canton could accidentally stay hidden, so the flag could possibly appear all white. The flag was described as symbolizing the primary origins of the people of the Confederacy, with the St. Andrew;s Cross of the British flags as well as the red bar from the flag of France.Despite the passage of the Flag Act of 1865, very few third national flags were actually produced and put into use.2 ply polyester is the most durable option for those who fly their flag 24/7.
