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.

What is the nick name for the confederate flag?

This is actually the the confederate battle flag. The "crossed stars" is still incorporated in flags of a few southern states (Georgia and Mississippi maybe more). The official flag of the Confederate states of America changed many times in its short life. The Stars and Bars is the a common nickname, but this is the name of the actual confederate flag that did not have the crossed star pattern at all. The "crossed stars" design is sometimes called the "rebel," "southern cross" or "Dixie" flag. The final official flag of the confederate states, "The Bloodstained Banner," did have the "crossed star" design in the upper right corner.
