Yeah, the hilarious part is that the “Stainless Banner” (which incorporated the familiar red background, blue X, white stars), was mostly a white flag. In fact, when the wind didn’t blow you couldn’t see the part near the flagstaff, so it mostly just looked like a white flag. They realized it looked too much like a flag of truce, and decided to add a red stripe to it… before surrendering less than 3 months later.

I have to say though, purely from an aesthetic point of view, the confederate battle flag is pretty cool looking.
