"Stars and Bars": This was the original flag of the Confederate States of America. It originally featured seven stars, representing the first seven states to secede. Today, the state flag of Georgia pays homage the the original flag of the Confederacy.
"Stainless Banner": This was the second flag of the Confederacy. It featured the battle flag, which had become quite popular by this time (1863). The rest of the flag is blank, white space.
"Blood Stained Banner": This was the third and final flag of the Confederacy. A red stripe was added to the flag's design after many complained that the dominant white space could cause it to be mistaken for a flag of surrender from a distance.

Some states still use parts of the flag...like shown above. But the flag is not for racism or slavery it stands for our freedom ad the shooting was sad...yes but it the flag had nothing to with it...i know i don't have many facts to support this but the the confederate flag stands for freedom just like the american flag does.
