_Robert_, good catch. I didn’t really notice what GM called it.

It has fourteen stars, yet IIRC the confederacy was eleven states (VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, TN, MS, AR, LA, and TX). I believe they were claiming at the time that MO, KY and MD had been illegally prevented from seceding, so that would be where the 14 comes from.
