The Confederate Battle Flag is very familiar to Southerners. During the Civil War, the square design was used by Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and was so popular its design was incorporated in the official flag of the Confederacy. The original design called for the flag to be rectangular, but it was changed to a square to conserve material. The Confederate battle flag still flies next to a Civil War monument on the grounds of the South Carolina Capitol, but many leaders say it is time to take it down. Following images show other flags used by the Confederate States of American during the Civil War and the current state flags of states that officially seceded from the U.S.
