There was never one single Confederate battle flag. However, the flag depicted in {{cs|Blood and Hope (novel)}} and {{cs|Doctor Who and the Rebel's Gamble (novel)}} is the most recognisable, with its origins as a battle flag for the {{w|Army of Northern Virginia}}.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23705803 BBC News]</ref> It continued to be used as a symbol beyond the American Civil War, particularly in the 20th century, where it was used as a symbol of opposition to the Civil Rights Movement.<ref>[https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/150626-confederate-flag-civil-rights-movement-war-history National Geographic]</ref> In the modern day, the Confederate flag is widely seen as a symbol of white supremacy, even beyond the United States.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/03/books/review/the-confederate-battle-flag-clashing-symbols.html The New York Times]</ref><ref>[https://www.businessinsider.com/why-is-the-confederate-flag-flown-outside-the-us-2015-6 Business Insider]</ref> This modern context has not been mentioned in [[DWU]] sources as the battle flag has only been depicted in a civil war setting. | |||
