There were l3 original colonies which became US states ( in l776) History and tradition go hand in hand. On the US ( not Confederate) Dollar bill they line up to form a six-pointed or Jewish Star in the Great Seal of the United States. In Philadelphia, l3 is a lucky number. ( l3 original states).

∙ 12y agoEleven of the stars were for the eleven states in the Confederate States of America. Since there was a hope, at the time the flag was designed, that Missouri and Kentucky would join the CSA, the stars for these states were included.

∙ 8y agoWell, even though there were 11 confederate states there were two state (Missouri and Kentucky) did not successfully cede for the union.///This question has incorrect information, and the first part of the answer is not correct. The Battle Flag has 13 stars; 3 on each of the 4 wings of the cross and 1 in the center,a total of 13. The reason for this number is because many Southerners saw the separation of their states from the Union as equivalent to the 13 colonies separating from Britain in the American Revolution.In fact some in the South actually termed it "The Second American Revolution". The First National flag has 11 stars representing the 11 states in the Confederacy. It had nothing to do with any of the "border states".

When did someone change the confederate flag to the US flag like the 'stars and bars'?
When the Confederate States was formed, a committee was formed and a design was chosen which featured seven stars in a blue union with three bars--two of red between a white one. This was known as the Stars and Bars. In the heat and dust of battle, the Stars and Bars looked too much like the Union's Stars and Stripes and the Confederate Congress adopted a new flag with a union featuring the square battle flag of the Army of northern Virginia and a white field. This white field looked too much like a flag of surrender so a new flag was designed which added a red bar to the white field.
