The design of the Union Civil War flag, known as the "Stars and Stripes," was officially attributed to the U.S. Army's flag designer, John M. Flagler. However, the flag's layout, featuring 13 stripes and a blue field of stars representing the states, evolved over time through contributions from various individuals and organizations. The most recognized version during the Civil War had 34 stars, representing the states in the Union at that time. The flag symbolizes unity and was a crucial emblem for Union soldiers during the conflict.

Yes the union did win the American Civil War. This is the reason we only have one America.
The Union Jack is the flag of Great Britain. I will assume you mean the Union vs. the Confederate flag of the American Civil War. Although Kansas attained status on January 29, 1861 as the 34th state, Ft. Sumter was still flying the 33-star flag when it was bombarded in April. Therefore, it could be argued just as effectively that the first official flag of the U.S. (Union) Army of the Civil War was the older, 33-star banner or the newer, 34-star version. However, the official flag of the Union when war broke out was the 34-star Kansas-inclusive version adopted at the end of January, 1861. Many versions followed, some representing states and others brigades and various military units.

No, the union flag is the British flag.The very first American flag included a union flag in the upper hoist canton, along with the thirteen stripes, this flag was named the Grand Union Flag. (This flag is the same as the British East India company flag, pre 1801.)There can be some confusion around this topic. In common American English use, the term "the Union" refers to the Northern States (i.e. the states remaining in the United States) during the American Civil War. As such, any reference in that context to a "Union Flag" means the American Flag (as flow at the time). "Union Flag" was not some specific design of flag, but was the American Flag.Outside the context of the American Civil War, the term Union Flag refers to the design of the Union Jack flag, the current flag of the United Kingdom (i.e. Great Britain, or, formally, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
The stripes on the Union flag during the Civil War represent the unity of the states that were loyal to the Union. The flag features 13 alternating red and white stripes, symbolizing the original 13 colonies. The blue field with white stars represents the states that remained in the Union, reinforcing the idea of a united nation fighting against secession. Overall, the flag embodies the principles of unity and perseverance in the face of division.
