The Bonnie Blue Flag, a single white star on a blue field, was first raised in 1810 over the short-lived Republic of West Florida. It returned to use in 1861, when it was flown at secession conventions and rallies across the South, and the song “The Bonnie Blue Flag,” written that year, made it widely known during the Civil War.

It was never adopted as an official flag of the Confederacy. Today it is studied and displayed mainly as a Civil War era historical flag, in reenactments, museums and classrooms.
