What is csa coat of arms?

The CSA coat of arms, or Confederate States of America coat of arms, was adopted in April 1863. It features a shield with a cross of Saint Andrew, which is a symbol of Scotland and was also used on the Scottish flag. The shield is divided into four sections. The top left section includes the Confederate battle flag, also known as the "Stars and Bars." The top right section includes a depiction of cotton, which was a major crop in the South and an important part of the Confederate economy. The bottom left section includes a sheaf of wheat, representing agriculture, and the bottom right section features a saber and a rifle crossed behind a plow, symbolizing the importance of military defense and agricultural production.

Above the shield, there is an eagle with its wings spread out, clutching a banner that reads "Deo Vindice" (Latin for "With God as our protector"). The eagle also holds in its beak a scroll that reads "E Pluribus Unum" (Latin for "Out of many, one"), which was also the national motto of the United States.

The CSA coat of arms was not widely used during the Civil War and was largely forgotten after the Confederacy's defeat. However, it has since become a popular symbol among some who espouse Confederate heritage and the ideals of states' rights and limited government.
