The second national flag of the Confederacy, called the "Stainless Banner," was put into service on May 1, 1863. It was designed to replace the first national flag. The first national flag had become increasingly criticized for its similarity to the Stars and Stripes, even though this had been the main argument for its initial adoption. The flag is sometimes referred to as the "Stonewall Jackson Flag" because of its inaugural use covering Stonewall Jackson’s coffin at his funeral.
This great value 2nd National Confederate flag measures 5ft x 3ft and is printed onto quality polyester in bold, clear colours and designs. It comes finished as standard with 2 metal grommets/eyelets for hanging on a flagpole.
