The Battle Flag was red with a blue cross and features 13 white stars. The flag was square and was made in different sizes for the infantry, artillery, and cavalry. During the 1st Battle of Manassas, The Stars and Bars was very easily confused with the Stars and Stripes when the wind wasn’t blowing. This confused the troops on each side. Realizing this, General Beauregard, the Confederacy’s commanding officer at the battle, suggested that a distinctively different battle flag be adopted. The Battle Flag was the flag of the Confederate Army not the Confederate Government.
