A Poet's Visual History of Confederate Flags

Blue Bonnie Blue

Hurrah! Hurrah!

A song for the flag
A flag for the song

for the rebels
for some Southern people

Five-pointed white star
with blue backfield

Born in Spanish Florida
Raised in Texas

First unofficial Confederate flag

Blue Bonnie Blue The Bonnie Blue Flag, 1861

Hurrah! Hurrah!
