The stars and bars is not the flag in the picture, it's the one with the circle of stars in blue in top left corner with 2 red horizontal stripes and 1 white stripe. That was used as the first flag of the Confederacy. The one in the picture and the one everyone thinks of as the Confederate flag is their battle flag which became part of their second and third flags, the Stainless Banner and the Bloodstained Banner.
