Confederate Flags Explained - American Artifacts

In 1948, the Dixiecrat party adopted the Confederate flag as its party flag. The Dixiecrat party stood for segregationalism. The short-lived party chose the flag as its symbol because the party stood for the state’s rights principles that the Confederate states stood for in the first place.

Stunning flags , leave them alone to history , trying to ignore them and pretend they dont exist simply throws petrol on the fire .

The First National flag, while being replaced in May 1863 as the political flag of the Confederacy, was still used in battle until the end of the war. I know of examples taken in 1863, 1864 and 1865 including at Appomattox. I have done a serious study of Civil War flags for 35 years and have these flags documented.

The only Confederate flag that matters is the white flag of LOSERS. 🏳️‍🏳️‍🏳️‍🏳️‍🏳️‍

I LOVE THAT FLAG and I’m southern bread my parents are from the south and I am proud to say I am a southern boy!! And it goes for those say they will buy anything from this town Good we don’t need your money

I fly the Conferate & the Gadsden flags. I do whatever I want on my own property. I could careless what anyone thinks. Robert E. Lee was on my family tree. I was born in Nashville,TN.

Nothing is more offensive then the Rainbow flag, but it's your right to fly what ever you want. It really doesn't effect me in any way. It's your right in this country and what makes America great. The confederates flag just reminds me that the democrars tried the ultimate insurrection and fail miserably.

The Battle Flag was called Dixie.

The Stars and Bars was never legally adapted as the National flag.

For some reason it feels imho like it feels like it bugs me for the flags are ruffled vs easier to see the rectangle entire surface for simply seeing the entire design etc fwiw... lmfao weird that thats what comes to me XD no joke

Bullshit! Not real meaning

The Flag should've duplicated the uniform should've been Grey Red and Gold!

Confederate flag is the best flag

The Battle flag of North Viriginia, also known as the Rebel/Dixie flag does not represent modern Confederates. It represents the South and those proud to live there.

They got that flag from black people

if only the good guys had one in 65

I do not like C-SPAN, but they do a damn good job here explaining the national flags of the Confederacy.

The Fourth became the Flag of the White Nationalism.

hurrah for the confederacy

If only people can read history books and not tweets

They used to crusify aliens mutants scientists on wooden x es

This needs to be pointed out to people who fly a certain flag these days...

Northern Virginia 😂 I’m not even a lefty but…

It's literally just the Virginian battle flag?

I love the flag ,, the flag don’t kill people ,,, people kill people

For a second I thought he was pointing to a white banner as the confederate flag..

The so called 1st national flag was never adopted by law.

This was excellent. A fine short to put down so much disinformation by people who know nothing of the Confederate flag. I just wish they might have shown or mentioned the original "unofficial" flag of the Confederacy, the Bonnie Blue Flag that Bears the Single Star. It flew at Fort Sumter with artillery batteries.

Me after watching up church outlaw with Luke combs wait no he removed his name he doesn’t get the southern pride

Well i recently had come back from two trips. One was too West Virginia and the other PA and visited areas of Civil War battles such as Gettysburg and a few places in W.V. that were not considered an invasion but ,liberation of W.V. from the Union. I found the history quite interesting once i got there. As well as the history of Gettysburg and the surrounding area. Although i plan to buy land in W.V. rather then P.A. i do like visiting P.A.'s historical places! I purchased the Confederacy's 2nd national Flag ,hat pin and was trying to figure out where to place it on my hat? I already have an American flag on my right side so that anyone looking at me see's it on their left as its suppose to me. I also have a "dont tread on me" hate pin on the opposite side. So do i put the Rebel battle flag pin just behind and next to the U.S. flag on my hat??

The radical left and few libertarians think the Confederate flag symbolizes racism/white supremacy.

My brother has one of theese in his room

It is nice flag just as u.s. flag not racist symbol at all will fly it anytime i want

Its a beautiful flag,nice, symmetrical with pretty colors. Lincoln was a strong Advocate against slavery. That flag is actually a battle flag.

Any flag of the csa, kkk, or their ilk, is a shitrag flag of terrorism.

The csa, kkk, and their ilk, are nothing more than low-life terrorist gangs. Worse than any MS-13-type gang.

The flag of savagery and terror. Flown by Non-americans who betrayed to US. THE AMERICAN SWASTIKA.

The last flag of the confederate states was just a white flag 🏳

I wish all these Atun-Shei Films liberal fuckwads would leave their traitor treason bullshit out of this. Can't find any fuckin videos about the Confederacy without them spouting their bullshit.

The Stainless Banner's first official use was on my body double's casket!

Stand proud and tall by flag always will,and the great south
