 | | The flag had a square blue union the height of two bars, on which was placed a circle of white stars corresponding in number to the states of the Confederacy--South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. |

 | | In some cases, the canton had a large star within the circle of stars, while in other cases, the star in the circle is the same size as the other stars [see photo]. |
