It’s a pattern several southern states have modified for their own flag
Nope. The “Stars and Bars” was a different flag than the one in the opening post. All versions of the S&B’s had three wide bars (red, white and red) as opposed to “stripes”. The flag in the the photo is the Battle Flag. It was actually in the shape of a square and had the large blue stripes, containing stars, making an x-shape across the red field. Same flag that can be found atop the General Lee car from the Dukes of Hazzard.
