That’s the Confederate Battle Flag in its modern representation (also known as the Rebel Flag). It’s based upon the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. It’s an enduring symbol from the American Civil War between the United States of America (The Union), and the Confederate States of America (the Confederacy).
It’s really always been a symbol of bigotry. Some folks say it represents “heritage not hate”, but the reality is that it’s representative of a heritage of hatred, and to deny that to be willfully ignorant at best.
So yeah… it’s not the American flag, but it’s definitely still around and it makes me sad every time I see it.
Other person explained it. But I really want to drive one point home. That is the flag of an enemy state. The Confederacy was not part of the United States of America. It is, was, and will always be the flag of an enemy state of the United States of America.
What flag is that? It’s not US, the stars are in the wrong place and there are no stripes.
Sigh…
