Confederate Flag (1865)

On March 4, 1865 Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, approved an act revising the previous Confederate flag.  A vertical red bar was added at the end of the white field opposite the union.  Less than a month later, on April 9, 1865, Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered.  Five days after Lee's surrender, Lincoln was assassinated, the first U. S. President to be killed in office.
