Early in the war, most regiments carried the Confederate First National flag (the "Stars and Bars") or their state's flag since the Confederacy did not have an official battle flag. The "Stars and Bars" caused much confusion on the battlefield because of its similarity to the United States flag, the "Stars and Stripes." The Confederate Army never had an official battle flag. Instead, each army or corps had a designated flag. In 1863, the Army of the Mississippi (Army of Tennessee) had at least eight different designs used at one time.

The Colorado state flag was adopted for official use by the Colorado General Assembly in 1911. The original design was provided by Andrew Carlisle Johnson, but the modern design is not the same as the original. The design that Johnson gave to the Colorado General Assembly was very vague, which lead to plenty of variety among early flags. His design included the same three stripes and emblem that can be found on the modern design, but he did not specify the precise shades or proportions for the flag.

A short history of the Colorado State flagThe flag of Colorado was adopted in 1911. Its official specifications were mysteriously altered with that the red C with the yellow center should be much smaller and placed immediately next to the flagstaff. In March 1964, the flag was made "legal". Colorado is known as the Centennial State, or the Columbine State. The red C can stand for either of these or for the state name. Colorado was ruled by Spain for many years and the name meaning "red" in Spanish.

Colorado state flags have a single horizontal stripe of white between two stripes of blue. The flag also has an emblem that consists of a golden disc with a red "C" wrapped around it. The red and blue sections of the flag must always be the same shade as the red and blue portions of the national flag.

Battle flag of the 4th Missouri Infantry, 8th Division, Missouri State Guard. In February 1862, Van Dorn ordered that all units under his command use this flag as their regimental colors. Although it is closely associated with Pea Ridge, it is doubtful that any units were issued this flag before the battle. The original is in the collection of the Museum of the Confederacy, Richmond, VA.

The flag now commonly referred to as the "Confederate Battle flag" (red rectangular flag with 13 white stars on the blue X outlined in white) has been alternately described as either the Confederate Naval Jack or the 1864-pattern Army of Tennessee battle flag, both of which were based upon the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag (see General Van Dorn's personal flag below). It gained widespread use as the official battle flag of the Confederate Army in post-war reunions of veterans, primarily because the rectangular flags were easier for manufacturers to mass produce.

The Colorado state flag has been in use for more than a century. The flag has undergone more changed than the majority of state flags during that time, but the fundamental aspects of the design have remained reasonably consistent since the first of the Colorado state flags was approved for official use.

Personal Battle flag of Major General Earl Van Dorn. This flag was presented to General Van Dorn by Miss Constance Cary while he was a division commander in the Army of Northern Virginia. Although Van Dorn had this flag with him at Pea Ridge, it was not flown or used at the Battle of Pea Ridge. The original is in the Museum of the Confederacy, Richmond, VA collection.

Colorado began to refine the design and standardize its flags in 1929, when the state government decided that the state flag should use the same shades of red and blue as the national flag. The government specified that they should always be the same rather than simply adopting the same shades, so the flag of Colorado will change if the national flag ever changes. The Colorado General Assembly eventually specified the size of the flag's emblem in 1964, which created the flag that has represented the state ever since.
