Secession Cockades were worn in the 1860s by anyone who sympathized with the southern cause. Since they were initiated in South Carolina, they were often blue like the South Carolina flag.
“Blue cockades are not uncommon here. I have been wearing one for nearly two months and so help me God I intend if necessary to make the declaration implied by it good even with my hearts blood.” - John H. Cochran to His Mother, December 11, 1860
"A gentleman of this city, now travelling in Mississippi, says the Nashville Gazette, writes back to a friend as follows: The further down I get, the more secession I see. Not content with wearing the blue cockade themselves, the people put them up on wagons, carriages, riding horses, etc. At one place where I stopped, all the negroes had them on. You may safely put Mississippi down as dead out for secession." - Memphis daily appeal. (Memphis, Tenn.), 09 Dec. 1860
