VINCENNES, Ind. — A county official says a replica of an early Confederate flag that was displayed near a Civil War monument in southwestern Indiana has been removed.

Officials say that they weren’t aware that the flag near the monument outside the county courthouse in Vincennes represented the Confederacy.

The replica resembles the Confederacy’s first official flag, which flew for one year starting in early 1861.

It was replaced with an Indiana state flag this week.
