The Confederate Battle Flag was used by the Confederate States of America. Although it have not been in official use since the end of the American Civil War, some residents of the Southern United States and some Americans in other regions continue to use the flag as a symbol of their history. The Confederate battle flag was flown (until recently) over the South Carolina State House. It now flies over a monument on the state house grounds. The design of the Confederate flags was also incorporated into the state flags of Mississippi and Georgia but was recently removed from the latter.
