The "Battle Flag" typically refers to a flag used by military units during combat to signify their presence and identity. These flags often feature distinctive colors, symbols, or emblems that represent the unit's heritage or allegiance. They serve both practical purposes, such as rallying troops, and symbolic ones, embodying the spirit and values of the forces they represent. One of the most recognized battle flags in American history is the Confederate Battle Flag, associated with the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. This flag has become a controversial symbol, representing differing interpretations of history, heritage, and racism in contemporary discussions.
