Located on the Gulf Coast, the Beauvoir estate was where former Confederate President Jefferson Davis lived his final years and worked on his memoir after the Civil War. It is now a National Historic Landmark. This remnant of the Confederacy is called the Beauvoir Stars and Bars Flag. It is thought to come from the United Daughters of the Confederacy and may have been shown at the dedication of early 20th Century Confederate monuments to help perpetuate the myth of the Southern Lost Cause. Many of these monuments have recently been torn down.
