How many stars were on the Confederate flag in total?

Answer 1

The Confederate flag, specifically the "Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia," is often associated with the Confederacy during the American Civil War. However, the official Confederate national flags featured different numbers of stars at various times, corresponding to the states that seceded. The first national flag had 7 stars, representing the original secessionist states, while later versions included up to 13 stars as more states joined the Confederacy. Thus, the total number of stars on the various Confederate flags varied from 7 to 13.
