first one looked confusingly like the stars and stripes so they changed it to the battle flag on the corner of a white field. the white was supposed to represent the purity of the white race.

it never caught on because from a distance, it looks like a flag of surrender.

I would love to learn the flag designer did this on purpose and leadership was too dumb to see it

Weirdly enough the guy who designed the stars and bars variant, P. G. T. Beauregard, would go on to be a vocal advocate for black suffrage post war
