Just to clarify something: the Stars and Bars is the First Confederate National Flag. It has three stripes, red/white/red and a blue field in the upper left corner with a circular constellation of stars.

The “Confederate Flag” is really the Army of Northern Virginia Battle Flag, sometimes referred to as the “Starry Cross”

Yes I understand, but in today’s dumbed-down generation of ignorance regarding history, the “Confederate Flag” is the Stars and Bars.

The Basque Flag of my mom’s country has the same St. Andrew’s Cross on it and that flag is about as reviled in Spain as the Army of Northern VA’s Battle Flag is here apparently.
