Chairman of the Committee

Mr. Miles had

Another flag in mind
Like the South Carolina secessionist One
With a St. George Cross

A Crescent
A Palm Tree

Meeting Mr. Miles approval
And Jewish friend's disapproval
So out goes

The Cross and Crescent
And Palm Tree

Turn it
Turn it
Turn St. George’s Cross

Here comes
More heraldric

Less ecclesiastical,
The New Southern Cross
The Confederate Battle Flag
St Andrew’s Cross
Miles's Proposal for the 1st National flag, 1861
The Dixie Flag
Square it up

The Battle Flag
The Committee rejected it
General Lee and Virginia Northern Army accepted it
