Those are battle flags. That isn’t the confederate flag. At least looking at the photos those are just battle flags. Which are less appropriate than flying the flag for a government.

My grandma had a battle flag but she never displayed it. It’s because it’s the battle flag her grandpa had in the civil war. Wish someone had the sense to donate it to a museum but I suspect it was disposed of.

People often confuse the battle flag with the confederate flag. Battle flags were to identify units on the battlefield.
