Confederate Flag

    The first flag of the Confederate States of America, called the Stars and Bars, flew from 1861 to 1865.  It was flown during the Civil War when 11 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas — seceded from the United States of America to uphold the practice of slavery. The flag gained prominence during the civil rights movement from 1954 to 1968.
