Folks:
Katie Vogel posted a note about a scarf that has red and white stripes in it that she found at work. There isn't clear provenance for the exact year that it was knit.
IF the wearer was a Confederate soldier.
and
IF the stripes are meant to represent the red/white/red of the Confederate colors;
then
Knowing when those colors were chosen as the "official" ones of the Confederacy might date the scarf within the period after the war was started.
Here's my question:
When did red/white/red become the official colors of the Confederacy? I've looked in the books I've got here, and I'm coming up blank. Would one of the flag or politics guys here have the answer? Miss Vicki would this have been in the newspapers?
Thanks for any and all help,
