The Confederate Flag

Throughout much of history, in time of war, the flag has always been one of the most important pieces of battlefield equipment. During the Civil War, the Confederate battle flag was extremely important in political and personal view standards. The Confederacy saw the use of three different national Civil War flags during its brief time as the official government of the South. The Confederate flag, represents a sacred emblem of this country's evolution through history. It symbolizes the birthright of a nation, the heritage of liberty purchased with blood and sorrow.
The Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865, it started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit

The importance of the Civil War flags can be seen in the fact that individuals who capture the enemy’s flag or saved their own flag were often rewarded with the Medal of Honor. Today, we held those pieces of clothing as a memorable piece of historical culture, as a representation of the gradual developments to become one nation.
