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.

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!
