The Confederate Battle Flag Lives On: He surely didn't fight in the Civil War, but his Confederate battle flag will live on as long as the granite survives. Don't you wish the flag were accurate, though? It has 14 stars rather than 13. Although the C.S.A. had only 11 member states, the battle flag (a part of the C.S.A. flag after 1863) had 13 stars. History says that the other two starts were for two of the border states. Nonsense! There had to be 13 stars, no less, because the first flag of the United States of America had 13, one for each of the original states. Parity achieved! Cedar Grove Cemetery. [2010]
