Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the creation of the first Confederate flag, the "Stars and Bars", and how it came to symbolize the secession of the Southern states from the Union. The author delves into the history of the flag's design, exploring the motivations and symbolism behind its creation. The author presents the account of Orren Randolph Smith, a veteran of three wars who claimed to have designed the flag, and argues that Smith's design was indeed the one ultimately adopted by the Confederate government. The book details the process of Smith's flag design, its acceptance by the Confederate Congress, and the raising of the flag in Louisburg, North Carolina. The author also examines the claims of Nicola Marschall, an artist who also asserted his role in the flag's design, and analyzes the competing arguments and evidence to arrive at a conclusion. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history and the enduring power of symbolism in shaping national identity.
