Historical Context
The 2nd Confederate Flag, known as the “Stainless Banner”, was adopted May 1, 1863, to replace the 1st Confederate Flag’s similarity to the Union Jack. Designed by William Porcher Miles, the white field symbolized Southern purity, with the blue St. Andrew’s Cross and 13 white stars representing the Confederacy’s states. Used until 1865, it was controversial for resembling a white flag of surrender, leading to the 3rd design.
