The Bonny White Flag

Work ongoing "Excellent, we have won the battle! Play The Bonny White Flag, let the would be conquerers her the anthem of Confederate freedom!"

- Jane Zarkan upon the Confederate victory in the First Battle of Earth

The Bonny White Flag was the popular national anthem of the Confederate States of Earth, both the original Confederacy of 21 BBY - 18 BBY and the restored Confederacy from 4 ABY and onwards, the song was written by songwriter Michael Yarwood.

The song was about the "Blue Star Flag", the unofficial first national flag of the Confederacy, which was flown as such prior to the adoption of the "Stars and Bars" flag, the "Blue Star Flag" continued to be flown as a symbol of independence after this. The flag was based upon the "Zarkan Secession Flag", which was flown by the Zarkan Kingdom during the deliverance of her Declaration of Secession to the Union Senate and subsequent withdrawal from the Union of Earth States.

The song was written after Michael Yarwood witnessed the raising of the flag in the Kingdom of Westland after Westland's secession, he was so moved by the emotions of the crowd he decided to write a song about the flag.

Lyrics (Full; original)
We are a band of brothers,

And native to the soil,

Fighting for our liberty

With Pounds, blood and toil,

And when our rights were threatened,

the cry rose near and far,

Hurrah for the Bonny White Flag that bears the blued star!

Hurrah,

Hurrah,

For Confederate rights, hurrah!,

Hurrah for the Bonny White Flag that bears the blued star!,
