The 15-star Confederate flag, also known as the "Longstreet Flag," was used by the Confederate Army during the Civil War and represents the states that seceded from the Union. The additional stars symbolize states like Missouri and Kentucky, which were claimed by the Confederacy but never officially joined. The design reflects the Confederacy's desire for unity among its members, and its historical significance has made it a controversial symbol in discussions about race and heritage in the United States.
The Confederate States of America
You don't want the same flag as your enemy but they somewhat are similar just like the U.S and Britians flag with the colors.The Confederate States of America (CSA) was formed of the southern states that seceded from the United States of America in 1861 at the onset of the Civil War. Originally there were 7 states then later 11 states in the Confederacy. The first CSA national flag had 7, 11, and then 13 stars in a circle. Two border states (Missouri and Kentucky) did not secede from the Union but had representatives on both the USA and CSA legislatures. That is why there were 13 stars on the first CSA flag. During the Civil War the CSA was not part of the USA, they were considered a separate nation. During the history of the Confederacy there were three different "official" flags of the CSA. After the defeat of the Confederate Army of Virginia and arrest of their President Jefferson Davis the southern states were returned to the United States of America.Read more: Why_is_the_confederate_flag_different_from_the_US_flag
Much of the controversy comes from misunderstandings. First, what flag do they have issues with? Most people when asked what the "Confederate Flag" looks like would point to a red banner with a blue cross corner to corner with 13 stars in the cross. Some people even refer to this flag as the "stars and bars" because it has white stars on blue bars. Both of those beliefs are FALSE! The flag that most people think of as the "Confederate Flag" is the Confederate Navy Jack (rectangular flag) or the Confederate Cavalry or Artillery flag (square flag). There were three (3) official flags of the Confederate States of America and this flag was NOT one of them. The Confederate Stars and Bars (first flag of the Confederate States of America) looks nothing like the Confederate Navy Jack or Cavalry flags. Take a look at Georgia's state flag. Except for the state seal in the circle of 13 stars, that is the first flag of the Confederacy, the "Stars and Bars." The second point: Some will say that the "Confederate Flag" stands for slavery or racism. Others will say that the "Confederate Flag" stands for rebels and "red necks." The association of the "Confederate Flag" with controversy may have begun with "white supremacy" movements of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) founded in the Southern States in 1865 by Confederate veterans.
The flag was important during the war because it was a symbol of the new country; the Confederate States of America. However, do you mean why is it so popular today?? Most people are familiar with the Confederate Battle Flag. The battle flag, which is different than the Confederate National Flag, was the one carried in battle. Today it is known as the Rebel Flag. This flag has become a symbol of rebelliousness in many forms and many people display it to show they are different. It is used by the KKK and racists. It is still displayed by Southerners who like to show their pride in their country background.
The first national Confederate flag was nicknamed "Stars and Bars". The Confederate battle flag that flew starting from 1863, was called "The Southern Cross". Furthermore, at the start of the Civil War a third banner was adopted by the CSA in 1861. It consisted of a single, five pointed white star, on a blue field and was called "The Bonnie Blue Flag".
Confederate money, issued by the Confederate States during the American Civil War, varied in design and denomination. It typically featured intricate engravings, with portraits of prominent figures like Jefferson Davis and imagery reflecting Southern symbols, such as the Confederate flag and agricultural themes. The notes were often printed in various colors, including green, brown, and gray, and were marked with their value, which ranged from small denominations to large sums. Due to the lack of backing by gold or silver, the money quickly depreciated and became nearly worthless by the war's end.
