Stars and Bars
This flag was adopted but never officially enacted. For twenty
five days the Confederate States of America had not officially
approved flag. In their haste to have a flag prepared for the flag
raising ceremony on March 4, 1861, Congress neglected to formally
enact a flag law. When this flag was first raised over the capitol
building in Montgomery, it contained seven stars, representing the
Confederate States. By the third week of May two more stars were
added representing Virginia and Arkansas. In July the addition of
North Carolina and Tennessee increased the number to eleven and
finally the admission of Kentucky and Missouri in December brought
the circle of stars to thirteen. During battle this flag was
sometimes confused with the Union Stars and Stripes, therefore it
was replaced only the 2nd National flag in 1863.
