## Script
This is not the confederate national flag:
When the United States split in twain during
the civil war this was the first flag her
rebel half used: The Bonnie Blue which she
copied from the Republic of West Florida.
No really. This country existed: a border
disagreement between Spain and the US over
the Louisiana purchase gave some local rebels
an opportunity take over a fort in 1810, declare
independence, as required with a flag, and
run a government -- for 78 days until The
United States put an end to that.
*Anyway*, fast forward to the Civil War and
when Mississippi seceded from the Union she
adopted the flag of the tiny country that
had been within her borders. And it became
the unofficial flag of the rebellion but not
for long. Blue wouldn't do.
That's a Yankee color.
The new confederate government asked for deigns
submission and got several.
Including one from a German/Prussian artist
in Alabama who possibly took design cues from
the Austrian Empire. And Betsy Ross.
(Side note: while we are talking about misnamed
flags, Betsy Ross probably didn't design this
flag -- there's no evidence to support that
she did, only stories from long after she
died -- Lady Godivia style. But we're getting
off track here.)
The confederate government selected this as
her official flag and named it the "Stars
and Bars" -- so calling this the stars and
bars is wrong on two counts: that's not it's
name, this is a cross. These are bars.
New flag adopted off to war, but on the battlefield,
the flag's similarity with the Union's was
confusing what with all the terror and smoke.
Nonetheless the Confederacy stuck with her
flag, but her Army wanted to avoid friendly
fire and so took one of the rejected designs
and squarified it into a battle flag.
The navy too, liked this design and eventually
switched, though using a brighter, presumably
non-yankee blue.
The popularity of the official flag decreased
in the confederacy as time went on (even as
they kept increasing the stars) while the
popularity of the battle flag grew.
So in 1863 the Confederate Government tried
again, and went with white sticking the battle
flag in the corner.
This was *better* in sense that the flag looked
less like the Yankee's, but *worse* in that
the international symbol of surrender was
now in the background.
The army stuck with theirs.
Two years later, the confederate government
*again* changed the flag, adding a red bar
and a new, tough name. Also, the design *slightly*
rectangularlified the battle flag. This could
no longer be mistaken for surrender and was
the last flag as 36 days later the confederacy
surrendered.
So this design was never technically the flag
of the confederate government -- but... close
enough.
