Description: Product Description : The Confederate Battle Flag: Americas Most Embattled Emblem In recent years the Confederate flag has become as much a news item as a Civil War relic Intense public debates have erupted over Confederate flags flying atop state capitols being incorporated into state flags waving from dormitory windows or adorning the Tshirts and jeans of public school children To some this piece of cloth is a symbol of white supremacy and enduring racial injustice to others it represents a rich Southern heritage and an essential link to a glorious past Polarizing Americans these flag wars reveal the profoundand still unhealedschisms that have plagued the country since the Civil WarThe Confederate Battle Flag is the first comprehensive history of this contested symbol Transcending conventional partisanship John Coski reveals the flags origins as one of many banners unfurled on the battlefields of the Civil War He shows how it emerged as the preeminent representation of the Confederacy and was transformed into a cultural icon from Reconstruction on becoming an aggressively racist symbol only after World War II and during the Civil Rights movement We gain unique insight into the fine line between the flags use as a historical emblem and as an invocation of the Confederate nation and all it stood for Pursuing the flags conflicting meanings Coski suggests how this provocative artifact which has been viewed with pride fear anger nostalgia and disgust might ultimately provide Americans with the common ground of a shared and complex history( it is an used product )
