Just as a note of historical accuracy, it is my understanding that
the "Stars and Bars" was the nickname of the National Flag of the
Confederate States of America and not the nickname on the battle
flag, which is the one which seems to be so controversial. The National Flag
of the CSA had three stripes, two red and one white, with a blue field
containing a circle of stars. This was the stars and bars.
