The Flag of the CSA

[Raghnall]

I have seen that the rebel flag is going to be used as the CSA flag. Historically, this is incorrect. Either use the stars and bars or the rebel/white field/red bar flags. The rebel flag was the battle standard for the army and navy.

this is a link that showcases the flags of the csa

 

[Styrbiorn]

You are completely correct. We will fix this.

 

[Raghnall]

thank you

 

[Vulture]

Thank you... So Styrbiorn you fixed t?

 

[Styrbiorn]

Aye.

 

[Styrbiorn]

Let's vote. Which one of the three flags on the site linked should we use?

 

[Txini]

As the flag is for armies and fortresses(cities) I'd go for Army one, and for CoA(shield) the Civil one.

 

[unmerged(9272)]

Use the historically accurate one.

 

[Styrbiorn]

The problem is that there are three accurate alternatives...
1: Stars and Bars, adopted March 4,1861

2: Stainless Banner, adopted May 26, 1863

3: Third National, adopted March 4, 1865

These three are the possible ones.

Ok, if I have to follow Raghnall, I would say: use the first one Styrbiorn. Use that one. If we go public and the majority says to change it we can still do it

 

[unmerged(9272)]

Well, if it's supposed to be historically accurate, then the obvious choice to me would be the actuall flag of The CSA, not one of the army or Navy. Granted, it may not be the most well known, but I think we should strive to be as historically correct as possible.

 

[Vulture]

Agreed. Use the first one Styr

 

[Styrbiorn]

All these three were the actual flag of the CSA, but during different periods.

 

[Vulture]

Still think you should use the first one...

If you don't agree, pick the second one

 

[Styrbiorn]

I'll make the first one, as that got most votes.
However I'll create the second to, just in case

 

[Vulture]

You do that, then send the whole mess over

 

[Styrbiorn]

Why don't you go check your mail box?

 

[Styrbiorn]

I just noticed a major error, I sent you a SWE flag which is highly incorrect (in fact it's the Chinese Dragon flag...). If you already have extracted the files, replace that file with the original Swedish flag made by Paradox.

I'll post this in the other forum too.
