There were eleven states in the Confederacy - South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. The Confederates put thirteen stars on their flag though, with stars for Kentucky and Missouri, which were slave states and where there was some effort to secede, and which sent part of their men to both armies. Maryland tried somewhat more seriously to secede as well, but was prevented from doing so when Lincoln had their governor and the state legislators thrown in jail. Maryland was a slave state, but if Maryland had been allowed to secede Washington DC would have been surrounded by seceded states, so this could not be permitted. Maryland also sent men to both armies, but got no star on the Rebel flag. I think the thirteen starts made southerners feel a likeness to the Rebels of the original American Revolution, the original thirteen states, so, no star for Maryland.
Studies of census records reveal that most southern soldiers were not slave owners. Most Confederate soldiers believed they were fighting for their independence, just like grandpa did against the British in the Revolution. Would you go fight, and fight hard, for years, just so some rich man could keep his slaves? Neither would the average rock hill small farmer, who were most of the southern troops.
