This is the Confederate First National Flag and is considered the original National Confederate Flag from 1861-1863. The Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is most commonly mistaken as the “confederate flag.”
Credit to the Mariners Museum in Norfolk, VA. This flag would have flown aboard the CSS Virginia. It flew everywhere and in as many places as the battle flag. The First National was coined the “Stars and Bars”
