Origin of the Confederate battle flag. by Carlton McCarthy.
[The facts concerning the origin of the battle flag contained in this article are derived from a speech by General Beauregard before a special meeting of Louisiana Division, Army of Northern Virginia, Association, December 6, 1878.--C. McC.]
This banner, the witness and inspiration of many victories, which was proudly borne on every field from Manassas to Appomattox, was conceived on the field of battle — lived on the field of battle — and on the last fatal field ceased to have place or meaning in the world.
But the men who followed it, and the world which watched its proud advance or defiant stand, see in it still the unstained banner of a brave and generous people, whose deeds have outlived their country, and whose final defeat but added lustre to their grandest victories.
It was not the flag of the Confederacy, but simply the banner — the battle flag — of the Confederate soldier.
