FOTC (Flags Of The Confederacy) is a site devoted to factual Confederate vexillology. It was originally created due to the lack of well-researched Internet sites on the subject of historical Confederate flags. Here you can read about the numerous flags of the government and armed forces of the Confederate States of America, and view many images of those flags. The site is fed with news and images posted by a team of vexillologists who specialize in the study of Confederate flags and whose combined research numbers over 200 years. The contributors and the Editorial Staff work at FOTC for free. The contents of these pages are freely offered to the Internet community as an education tool and are NOT for commercial use. If you use this site and its information for your research then we expect to see it properly cited as your source. Do not take other people's work and make it your own by not doing so. That is simply theft and will not be tolerated by the FOTC staff. Before accessing this site please read our disclaimers and copyright rules.
