Bonner begins his work by reminding us that secessionists in 1860-61 faced the difficult task of forging a new Confederate nationalism on the ruins of the sundered Union.
It is true, Bonner notes, that P. Beauregard's public calls for a new flag after First Manassas, and his claim that its resemblance to the banner of the Union had almost cost him the battle, had much to do with the groundswell of support that eventually developed for a new symbol.
It is worthwhile to note that Bonner, in a relatively slim volume, manages to chronicle the symbolism of a variety of different flags connected to almost all the states of the Confederacy.
