Everybody gets this wrong ... It is not the Confederate Battle Flag!. It is the Confederate Navy Flag. The Confederate Battle Flag is square and the diagonal blue strips are dark navy blue.

Wasn't just the naval jack. Here is some history for you about the origin of the flag and some units that flew it: Battle Flag of the Army of Tennessee. The Army of Tennessee was the second largest Confederate army. Continue scrolling down and see also the Battle Flag of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana.
