3rd Confederate National Flag

The Third Confederate National Flag was adopted in March 1865, during the final months of the Civil War. Its design retained the Confederate battle flag in the canton but added a vertical red stripe at the fly end to the otherwise white field.

This modification was made to correct a major flaw in the earlier Second Confederate National Flag, which could easily be mistaken for a flag of truce or surrender when hanging still. The added red stripe improved visibility and clearly distinguished it as a national flag.

Because it was adopted so late in the war, the Third Confederate National Flag saw limited actual use before the Confederacy collapsed. As a result, it is less commonly encountered than the earlier Confederate national flags, but it represents the final official flag of the Confederate States of America.
