Didn't the Confederacy say that 13 states had seceded? Not 11?

Is this a matter of debate for you? There were 11 states that joined the confederacy. Four or five (depending on how you define it) Union slave states stayed in the Union.

Then why 13 stars on the Confederate flag? Eleven states and two spares?
