The
2nd National Flag was the headquarters flag of General Robert F. Hoke.
A native of Lincolnton, General Robert F.
Hoke rose to the rank of major general during the Civil War. This is
a second national pattern Confederate flag adopted on May 1, 1863 and
used until replaced on March 4, 1865. Because of its large white field
this pattern flag was nicknamed the "stainless banner." This
flag most certainly marked Hoke's headquarters during his brilliant
victory at Plymouth, North Carolina on April 20, 1864. This flag was
donated to the state sometime after Hoke's death in 1912.
