Abstract:
The first flag of the Confederate States of America was designed by Major Orren Randolph Smith and constructed by Miss Catherine Rebecca Murphy with her aunt and Miss Nora Sykes assisting. The flag first flew on the Franklin County Court House Square in Louisburg. This marked the turning point of public opinion from apathy to pro-secessionist-Confederacy.
