Why is the confederate flag so constroversial?
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.
Who really sewed the American flag?
Betsy Ross is said to be the seamstress who, after meeting with George Washington, sewed the first American flag.

It cannot be historically proven.
Who got credit for sewing the American flag?
A common myth is "George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross asked Betsy Ross to sew the American flag in May of 1776."In reality the first US flag could not have been until June 14th 1777, the date of the flag resolution passed by the Continental Congress. Most believe the first flag was designed by Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. History does not tell us who actually made the first US flag. The popular story is that Betsy Ross of Philadelphia sewed flags, and may have made one of the early flags.

How many stars does the European flag have?
There are currently (as of August 2016) 50 stars on the American flag and thirteen stripes for the thirteen colonies.Note: At one time they added stripes along with the stars - the Star Spangled Banner that flew over Fort McHenry had 15 stripes. The 15-star, 15-stripe flag was authorized by the Flag Act of January 13, 1794, adding 2 stripes and 2 Stars. The regulation went into effect on May 1, 1795. This flag was the only U.S. Flag to have more than 13 stripes. Realizing that the addition of a new star and new stripe for each new State was impractical, Congress passed the Flag Act of 1818 which returned the flag design to 13 stripes and specified 20 stars for the 20 states. All US flags since then have stuck to the rule of 13-stripes and 1 star for each state.
