This is what the "Stars and Bars" actually looked like. It was the 1st pattern confederate national flag. It wasn't used in the field because it looked too much like the U.S. flag and caused confusion.

History lesson over, carry on with the fight.
p.s. If you really want to fly the confederate flag, just fly the 1st national flag, nobody will question it because few people know what it is. The national parks at the various civil war battlegrounds learned this lesson years ago.
I think you'd find far fewer people have a problem with that flag being flown.
