It is actually the Battle flag of the army of Northern Virginia, specifically General Robert E. Lee.

The Confederacy had three official flags, none of them was the "Stars and bars."

Seriously?! BS! Nowadays, 99% of the time it is just a symbol of a ‘redneck good ole southern country boy/girl’ thing. All this crap about it is just more attempts to jin up division in this country and take away people’s freedom of speech and expression.

I imagine the Brits would be just as disdainful of the American flag if they’d won the war.
