Confederate Flag Proposals-2 (U.S.)

See also:

Here are the designs for flags submitted to the CS Congress.

Most of these proposals were sent to the Congress in February 1861. The first flag of the Confederate States of America was adopted on 4 March 1861.

For each proposal I will include, if known, the name and place of residence of the designer, and the date the design was sent to the Congress.

Each design is given a designator number, such as . The number <4> indicates the number assigned to the submission in the archives of the Confederate States Congress Committee on Flag and Seal (currently to be found in the National Archives of the United States). The letter designator indicates that it is the first of several designs proposals submitted by the same person.
