In the USA today it's not uncommon to see the Confederate battle flag being flown/shown. Was it common to see Confederate flags in the years after the civil war or is this a modern occurrence?

The Confederate Battle Flag John M Coski is a really good source of information on this, he also did an AMA (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3cg2sq/ama_john_coski_author_of_the_confederate_battle/) here several years ago that might help answer your question.
