The Flags of the Confederate States of America

Unfurl those flags and let them float upon soft Southern breezes. They have harmed no one and they represent our Confederate ancestors, gallant and brave men that cherished liberty over a tyrannical centralized government. Long live their ideals and symbols.

The flags in the image are: (from top and going clockwise) The Army of Tennessee Confederate Battleflag; The Stars and Bars or First National; The Stainless Banner or Second National; The Bonnie Blue Flag; and The Third National Flag.

About the Pelham Camp..... The Major John Pelham Camp #258 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans was formed in Jacksonville, Alabama in 1985 as the 6th Camp in the Alabama Division. The Camp is named and numbered for the United Confederate Veterans Camp that was located in Calhoun County's county seat - Anniston. Our monthly meetings are currently being held at 7:00 pm on the 2nd Thursday of each month. We meet at the Hiram #42 F&AM Masonic Lodge which is located just north of the town square on Pelham Road in Jacksonville. Please come and visit us when you can.
