Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Confederate flag has become as much a news item as a Civil War relic. Intense public debates have erupted over Confederate flags flying atop state capitols, being incorporated into state flags, waving from dormitory windows, or adorning the T-shirts and jeans of public school children. To some, this piece of cloth is a symbol of white supremacy and enduring racial injustice; to others, it represents a rich Southern heritage and an essential link to a glorious past. Polarizing Americans, these flag wars reveal the profound--and still unhealed--schisms that have plagued the country since the Civil War. The Confederate Battle Flag is the first comprehensive history of this contested symbol. Transcending conventional partisanship, John Coski reveals the flag's origins as one of many banners unfurled on the battlefields of the Civil War. He shows how it emerged as the preeminent representation of the Confederacy and was transformed into a cultural icon from Reconstruction on, becoming an aggressively racist symbol only after World War II and during the Civil Rights movement. We gain unique insight into the fine line between the flag's use as a historical emblem and as an invocation of the Confederate nation and all it stood for. Pursuing the flag's conflicting meanings, Coski suggests how this provocative artifact, which has been viewed with pride, fear, anger, nostalgia, and disgust, might ultimately provide Americans with the common ground of a shared and complex history.

In the decades that followed the fall of the Confederate States of America, much information on the flags of the member states was lost. By the same token, many misunderstandings about these flags have persisted in popular myth. In The Flags of the Confederacy, Devereaux Cannon provides an authoritative and detailed overview of these flags and their various meanings. Devereaux provides essential context for each flag with an overview of the civil and political structures of the Confederate States of America. He also delves into the many stories surrounding each flag’s development and usage, providing both an essential historical reference and a rare window into Confederate life.

Book excerpt: A concerted effort is underway to destroy part of America's history, much of it surrounding slavery. But a lot of this historical destruction is based on misunderstandings and outright lies. Decades of research has been condensed into this small, clear booklet, answering the questions: Is the so-called "Confederate Flag" really the flag of the Confederate States of America? (quick answer: No) Did the Northern States have slaves during the Civil War? (quick answer: Yes) Was Jefferson Davis a racist? (Quick answer: He had an adopted black son, so you decide) Were all Southern slave owners the vicious men that modern histories portray them as? (read and find out) Was the Confederate States of America a legal nation? Given the current political climate, it helps to know the facts of our nation's history, as well as the history of the Confederacy, so that we make informed decisions based on truth, and not based on lies and emotion.

Book excerpt: The issue of slavery had divided the nation for decades, but problems came to a head after the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860. Fearing that Lincoln would attempt to abolish slavery, the legislatures of 11 southern states voted to withdraw from the United States and create a new nation, the Confederate States of America. This would result in four bloody years of Civil War in which more than 600,000 Americans were killed. The Confederacy adopted several flags between 1861 and 1865; the best known today is the battle flag, which featured a blue saltire cross on a red background. To some people, the Confederate flag is a proud symbol of Southern heritage and bravery. Others, however, view the Confederate flag as a symbol that represents the enslavement and oppression of African Americans. As a result, the Confederate flag is among the most controversial of American symbols.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed historical reference covers every known flag representing the Confederate State of Carolina and its role in the Civil War. Many flags have represented the state of South Carolina over its long history. After years of locating, measuring, and determining the historical significance of more than one hundred flags displayed during the War Between the States, historian Glenn Dedmondt presents the most detailed and comprehensive look at South Carolina’s Civil War-era flags. Included in this volume are: the Lone Star and Palmetto Flag, the first Southern flag hoisted over Fort Sumter; the Charleston Depot battle flag, and the naval Jack, flown only on a ship of war when in port. Through these banners and the stories that surround them, Dedmondt relates the story of South Carolina’s Civil War years.
