---

A Proud Banner of Kentucky’s Confederate Volunteers

The 2nd Kentucky Infantry Regiment Alexander Guards Flag stands as a symbolic reminder of the divided loyalties and strong convictions that shaped Kentucky during the American Civil War. Part of the American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flags, this 3′×5′ banner recreates one of the earliest company flags carried by Kentucky volunteers who enlisted under the Confederate banner in 1861.

Although Kentucky initially declared neutrality, many citizens sided with the South and formed regiments that fought across Tennessee and beyond. The Alexander Guards flag captures the pride, courage, and determination of these early volunteers who sought to defend their Southern ideals.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This reproduction reflects the First National Confederate Flag, historically known as the Stars and Bars. The design features thirteen white stars arranged in a circular and cross pattern on a deep blue canton, representing the Confederate states, including Kentucky and Missouri—both claimed by the Southern government. The flag’s three horizontal stripes—red, white, and red— mirror the proportions used in original 1861 designs.

The inscription “ALEXANDER GUARDS” stretches proudly across the central white bar, identifying Company D of the 2nd Kentucky Infantry Regiment. The simplicity of its design and its early-war origin make this banner a true emblem of heritage, local pride, and steadfast belief during the Confederacy’s formative months.
