The final national flag of the Confederacy, flown as it neared its
end, the Third Confederate Flag features the Battle Flag in the upper
left corner, with a vertical red stripe on the right side. This is
a modified version of the Second Confederate National Flag, which had
only the Battle Flag on a plain white field. The “Bloody
Stripe” was added to differentiate the flag from the white flag of
surrender and prevent further confusion on the battlefield.
