Title
The Genesis of the “Stars and Bars”
Abstract
The competing claims of two designers of the first flag of Confederate States of America have never been resolved. This paper, explains the history of their dispute, weighs the evidence supporting their cases, and explores the possibility that the actual genesis of the Stars and Bars may have arisen from an altogether different source. This paper won the Driver Award in 2004.
