The term "Stars and Bars" refers to the First National Flag of the Confederacy, not the Confederate Battle flag...and I doubt any aggrieved liberals would recognize one if they saw it.
Well the Southern Cross is the battle flag but we all pretty much call it the stars and bars. If you don’t live in the South just stay the eff of of it. :-)
From the history of the CW I’ve always heard of ‘’the battle flag’’ referred to as The Stars And bars’’. Makes no difference to me because it sure ain’t The Stars And Stripes which is the flag of this great nation. THE ONLY FLAG!
