Abstract:

North Carolina's Civil War soldiers carried and fought under four different kinds of flags: state, company, national, and battle flags. After the hostilities ended, many of these were brought home, while others had been captured and taken home by Northern states or the Federal Government. Many of these have now been returned. The Museum of History in Raleigh has the largest collection of Confederate flags held by any state-operated museum in the South.
