I had heard that the flag some southerners display as the "Confederate Flag" has been inappropriately designated as such. Upon investigation, it turns out that the modern Confederate flag is a combination of a couple different designs, and was never actually flown by the Confederate States of America. This common design is also often called the "Stars and Bars," another misnomer. The Stars and Bars was the first flag design for the CSA, and looks little like the flag of "Dixie" we see today. As the flag we know today was never even flown, I am appalled that it is recognized as the symbol of the Confederacy.

The Confederate Flag is a symbol with many meanings. Symbols evolve, so it seems normal to amalgamate the designs.
I am not appalled at all, I think its' kind of funny. I will rub it in to all my white friends.
