Historical Context
The Third Confederate Flag, known as the “Blood-Stained Banner”, was adopted March 4, 1865, as the final Confederate national flag. Designed by Arthur L. Rogers, it combined the Stainless Banner (2nd flag) with a white border to avoid confusion with surrender flags. The blue saltire with 13 white stars symbolized the Confederacy’s states, and the white border represented purity. Used only briefly before the Confederacy’s fall, it remains a symbol of the Civil War era.
