1st National Flag of the Confederacy #CSA-5-9S

National flags identify a nation. For the first 24 days, the Confederate government had no officially approved flag. When Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as President of the Confederacy, the inaugural parade was led by infantry carrying the Georgia State flag. A committee lead by chairman William P. Miles of South Carolina reviewed hundreds of flag designs, which were received from all over the new CSA nation and even from the United States. There was an unwritten deadline for a flag design of 4 March 1861 because that was the day Lincoln was to be inaugurated president of the United States. On that date the Confederate States were determined to fly a flag to express their own sovereignty. On the morning of 4 March 1861 the "The Stars and Bars" was adopted, and became the 1st National Flag of the Confederacy. It was used from 4 March 1861 to 1 May 1863. It had 7 stars in a circle on a blue field, to represent the 7 states of the CSA. Later versions would have 11 stars and then eventually 13 stars as other states were admitted to the Confederacy. The bars consisted of two red and one white.
