    Actually the Confederate battle flag that is found on the Mississippi state flag is falsely referred to as the "stars and bars", even in some reference books. The "stars and bars" refers to the first Confederate National flag. This flag was almost identical to the original United States flag, the "stars and stripes", except instead of seven red and white stripes it had three bars, two red one white. The current Georgia state flag is the "stars and bars" with the Georgia state seal added in the middle of the field of stars.

    If each star on the US flag represents a state then why are there only 48 stars on the flag raised on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, May 1945? Pearl Harbour was attacked in 1941 and Hawaii is the 50th state so shouldn't there be 50 stars on the flag?
