== Confederate Battle Flag ("Confederate Flag") ==
Note the famous flag is the sign of the ''army'' of the Confederacy, not the state itself. The [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Flag_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America_%281861-1863%29.svg/810px-Flag_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America_%281861-1863%29.svg.png actual] flag of the Confederacy proper, which looks like a cross between the flags of the European Union and Texas, ''never'' appears in non-historical fiction (and even then only rarely).
=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* Gorgeousman from ''[[Kinnikuman Nisei]]'' wears the Confederate battle flag as his costume.
=== [[Live Action TV]] ===

=== [[Toys]] ===
* ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' H.A.V.O.C. driver Cross-Country toys, mainly sold in America, wear a confederate battle flag belt buckle. A later toy featured him in a Civil War Confederate jacket with the flag printed on the back, '''and''' the aforementioned belt buckle. In the first case, "Heritage, Not Hatred" is stitched under the flag to let you know he's not a ''complete'' lunatic.
** Both figures also sport grey Confederate kepi caps.
=== [[Video Games]] ===
* The Confederacy in Starcraft had the Confederate battle flag applied to armor. Expanded universe content from the series shows they were big fans of putting it on everything, really.
** Interestingly, the connotation of the Confederate battle flag being a symbol of rebellion is reversed, as the Confederacy is the oppressive powerbase in the sector {{spoiler|until they get overthrown by Mengsk.}} Though the Confederate battle flag was picked from the ATLAS computer's history database, so the irony probably isn't evident to character in-universe.
=== [[Real Life]] ===
* This trope is quite common in [[Real Life]]....in southeastern ''AMERICA!'' (and oddly enough, even other regions...''in America!'')
* The Confederate battle flag is known only as the Rebel Flag by many, thus associating it with a general attitude of rebellion
