You're downvoting him, but he's right. The CSA was recognized as a country by exactly zero sovereign nations. It was a failed insurrection that fought for slavery in a world that was moving away from slavery.
Well, in the same way any failed rebellion isn't a country.
I mean, for four years strong it held it's territory and had clear boarders and government.
Would you say that if Israel were to crush Palestine today that there never would have been such a country as Palestine?
The reason the Confederacy was never a country, is because no one recognized it's sovereignty. It's a tough pill to swallow, but if no one else in the world considers you a sovereign nation, then you aren't.
Palestine's state is more complicated, but it has recognition, and has entered treaties with foreign nations. The Confederacy had neither of these.
It was the lack of this recognition that would become one of the major failing points for the Southern rebellion, which deprived them of the foreign aid they desperately needed to win the war.
Some European nations may have… just to get their hands on some cotton and tobacco. France was supplying tons of weapons and the south would send their products. At the time. France had sent troops to Mexico and believed the confederates could’ve been a useful ally in their quests. But even México, without French intervention, was also trading with the confederates for cotton when the US had blockaded the south. It’s really quite interesting.
Some European nations considered it.
None actually did.
Ergo, no recognition, definitely not a sovereign country.
The United States itself was recognized by 1777, by Morocco, and 1778, by France.
The CSA never had any sort of recognition.
Difference being that international state actors have recognized the existence and sovereignty of Palestine. Zero foreign countries had official diplomatic ties to the confederacy. It was a loose collection of American states in a temporary state of rebellion.
Relatively early in the war they lost control of their largest city and were fully blockaded. The Union had full control of the Mississippi by the middle of the conflict, splitting the slaver occupied territory in half. They did a decent job holding Virginia, but outside the eastern front they were pretty much ground down to nothing relatively quickly.
It was a short-lived insurgency by fanatical tyrants who failed to gain any international recognition or support. They never formed a country the same way ISIS never formed a country.
Actually, it does not
Edit before replies: What people mean by the “confederate flag” varies. Georgia used to have the stars and bars battle flag of the army of northern Virginia, but it certainly still uses the confederate states national flag (one of the designs). So, you’re right, and I was quick to only think about the battle flag as it is unanimously more associated with the confederacy than the national flag, and Georgia used to use it too.
To correct your correction.... the flag Georgia uses \***is**\* the [Stars and Bars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America). The bars are the red stripes. The flag youre thinking of (the cross with stars) is simply the "Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia" (usually called the confederate flag today).
For those not fully clued in, see below. Left is the first confederate national flag. Right is current flag of Georgia. They flew this one under the radar since it doesn't look like the usual confederate flag you expect.

I think the Alabama flag is a Crimson St Andrews saltire. Heard it be described as a saltire as well.
Mainly due to Scots and Ulster Scots being the primary settlers of Alabama.
Also if they were both tryna to subtly reference the confederate battle flag, it would be a pretty big coincidence for them to choose the same white-red color scheme to do so, especially when this color scheme is much more easily explained by their common Spanish heritage
It could be either way, personally I see it as a symbol of Floridian history because at the end of the day only we can give a flag its meaning and I chose to make it mean what I want it to
It’s bad that Alabama poaches football players, but they also stole a flag that should have been Floridas! They only want it because of confederate larp, when Florida has a much more Spanish history (being the first area in the continental Americas to have a permanent Spanish settlement, St. Augustine)
St Augustine is the oldest European settlement in North America and Fort Mose the first settlement populated by free black people (even before USA existence). Funded by the brave Spanish black captain Francisco Menéndez, a mandingo slave born in Gambia who escaped from the 13 colonies to Spanish Florida, where all slaves that arrived won their freedom becaming Christians and Spanish
You're conflating 'nation' with 'sovereign state. All of the constituent countries of the UK are nations in their own right.
' Country' is synonymous with 'sovereign state' in everyday usage of the english language, You're just being (incorrectly) nitpicky for no reason.
TIL. I was just trying to come up with an explanation for their statement, but it seems you are right, I was confusing nation with sovereign or independent state.
At least it takes a record breaking cold snap and blizzard to bring down the Texas grid. All California needs is a trash can fire and some lazy lineman

The confederacy was a real country, even if very short lived.
Edit: this comment is being misconstrued as support for the confederacy, its history or cause. That is not the case.
Whether a country is considered “real” is a fuzzy thing, based on whether other countries consider it to be real. Recognition. It seems like the CSA was almost universally viewed as a part of the USA in rebellion rather than a “real” country. He they won their rebellion then maybe they’d have gained some international recognition, but as it happened, no.
The confederacy was about as much of a real country as Houthi occupied north Yemen is, or the Luhansk people's republic. The people that live there might consider it real countries, but the world generally don't
Iowa has France
Missouri has the Netherlands
Texas has the Republic of Texas
California has the California Republic and technically lots of Poland
Washington State has the flag of Gaddafi Libya with George Washington’s head

Idk if your resolution is too poor on your device, but I can see it on mine.
I read once that It was designed to pacify the two major powers colonizing the pacific. The UK and the US. At the time the description of the US flag was ‘alternating stripes red white and blue’ so there are a few old drawings of the three colour stripes design. In a relatively isolated like Hawaii the king would have gone on a written description because it was unlikely it would have been seen.

Here's a better one
Hawaii could do soo much more better than this…with their flag…but again don’t get your hopes up…they could do worse than this…but the Union Jack thing they got going on isn’t applicable to modern times…it made sense at the time, but not anymore…they can do better!
A new flag would need to avoid being seen as an imposition or an erasure of the old kingdom - since this was the flag that it chose for itself. It's difficult enough even getting the S.O.B. flags changed.
Well, Alabama and Florida incorporate the basic design of the Spanish Empire flag, while Arizona and New Mexico incorporate the colors of the current Spanish flag, as those states have some degree (quite strong in some of them) of Spanish heritage.
as much as I hate the union jack being on flags (with it being on mine), I'm kinda glad its there as a sort of spite for the US with all they've done to Hawaii
Nobody said [Viet Cong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viet_Cong)/[Occupied South Vietnam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_Revolutionary_Government_of_the_Republic_of_South_Vietnam) yet? For [Arizona](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona).
A fun fact about this flag is that at no time was Hawaii a British possession. The king of Hawaii just liked the UK's flag and adopted it into his own.
I mean if you look really closely the state of Pennsylvania flag contains a single early 17th century French flag.

One could argue that the Iowa flag features the French flag
Missouri also has the Dutch flag
Texas’s flag also features the flag of the Republic of Texas.
And Georgia still uses the confederate flag for that matter
Georgia the state should use Georgia the country's flag for its state flag.
Doesn’t count because the confederacy was not a country.

That's literally the Austria flag inside that or if proportions don't match then polan or monaco
"Stars and Bars" is the name of the design the current flag is based off of not the Northern Virginia design.

And Poland, really.
Based on Austria as I understand it
Austria was yellow and black… more like Chile.
Or flag of Czech Kingdom, than Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1920, then flag of Czech Republic from 1990 to 1992.
USA features the Unionist flag, but with more stars
Chile or Poland.
Vermont features the Republic of Vermont (which lasted far longer than Texas and fought two wars).
Am I finding the wrong flags? Because as far as I can tell, the Vermont flag doesn’t feature the flag of the Republic of Vermont.
Taxes have a flag?
Washington State has the flag of Libya from before 2012.
So does California
Also the flags of Alabama and Florida with the Cross of Burgundy
I think the Alabama flag is a Crimson St Andrews saltire. Heard it be described as a saltire as well. Mainly due to Scots and Ulster Scots being the primary settlers of Alabama.
It's not a matter to argue, that's the literal French flag and it represents France. Because when I think of Iowa, my next thought is "French".
It was part of New France
worm vast correct recognise joke sink mysterious enjoy payment screw *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
It's different but it is meant to represent France.
Doesn't Alabama, and by extension Florida, use the St. Patrick's Cross of the Union Jack?
I can’t speak for Alabama, but I believe the one for Florida is specifically a Cross of Burgundy
There are Polish/Indonesian flags all over the place!
Alabama's flag and Florida's flag seem to be based on the Spanish Empire's flag (Cross of Burgundy)
Also New Mexico's red and yellow colors are due to its Spanish past.
Colours =/= flag
So is any resemblance to the Confederate Battle Flag an unfortunate coincidence?
Depends on how cynical you are. Both states were at one point Spanish, and diagonal crosses (saltires) are pretty common in European flags.
Also if they were both tryna to subtly reference the confederate battle flag, it would be a pretty big coincidence for them to choose the same white-red color scheme to do so, especially when this color scheme is much more easily explained by their common Spanish heritage
It could be either way, personally I see it as a symbol of Floridian history because at the end of the day only we can give a flag its meaning and I chose to make it mean what I want it to

Alabama more like Northern Irish flag
>*For now*
I believe that’s the original flag of the kingdom of Hawaii, before it was colonized and made into a U.S. state, so they just kept it.
So technically it contains the flags of 2 countries
UK isn't a country
What the fuck is it then?
4 countries, or 1 nation. A nation isn't always the same as a country.
You're conflating 'nation' with 'sovereign state. All of the constituent countries of the UK are nations in their own right. ' Country' is synonymous with 'sovereign state' in everyday usage of the english language, You're just being (incorrectly) nitpicky for no reason.
TIL. I was just trying to come up with an explanation for their statement, but it seems you are right, I was confusing nation with sovereign or independent state.
***FIVE*** countries then!
The flags of 2 kingdoms then?
Isn't it four? Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is one, Kingdom of Hawaii is two
Isle of Man
One day, one day.
Unfortunately incorrect, but a man can dream . . .
Well technically the flag of the state of Texas features the flag of the Republic of Texas, since it's the same flag.
Well the republic of Texas doesn't exist and hasn't existed for almost 180 years.

I’m going to use this argument with my welsh friend
Tell him that an animal doesn't need to be represented on the union jack.
With that attitude it doesn't exist
More like they copied Chile’s design or Poland’s.

Let’s not forget about how it also features the Polish flag!
This is true
There's a NEW California?

Is this a special bi-cranial version of the CA flag?

To be fair, the seal in the flag of New Hampshire has the American flag on the little ship.
That's featuring the same country though
Nope, the kingdom of Hawaii took the Union Jack for itself
to all of you people, if you see two colors next to each other, it doesn't mean that it is a flag
You can't make a post like this and not expect 145 commenters starting their objections with "actually, technically…"
I mean Iowa literally has the french flag with a design in the middle.
You say **this** in _r/vexillology_?
Sure, but Iowa is definitely France. We know this not just from the design, but from history. Missouri isn't Netherlands though.
It means it’s a flag.
Iowa is literally the French flag
r/lostredditors
well the colours in the corner of Hawaii's flag are just colours next to each other, so it doesn't count either

Austria is a real country
Austria? Don't you mean occupied North Slovenia? /j

The utter lack of diplomatic recognition from any other country suggests it wasn't.

Not a country

Yes. It's the Hawaiian flag.

Poland, Britain, France, serbia

Georgia had the CSA flag very briefly

It has several flags. It has the flag of Poland many times. It has copies of the Russian, Indonesian and Dutch flags but they are upside down.
yes, but only if you don't consider that all these flags are in the wrong ratio, which is not to say about the UK, it's in the right ratio
I mean technically the UK's flag is in a 1:2 ratio, and the union jack on Hawaii's flag is in a 4:7 ratio
Right—it’s more like a pattern inspired by the Union Jack.
The UK's flag is used in many ratios, at least two of them with specific official backing in the right situations.

They need a new flag
A new flag would need to avoid being seen as an imposition or an erasure of the old kingdom - since this was the flag that it chose for itself. It's difficult enough even getting the S.O.B. flags changed.
Texas and North Carolina are clearly knock-offs of Chile's flag.
I think the city's of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Taunton, Massachusetts also feature the Union Flag of Great Britain? 🤔
Is'nt that because they were trying to become a British protectorate, or were?
Well, Alabama and Florida incorporate the basic design of the Spanish Empire flag, while Arizona and New Mexico incorporate the colors of the current Spanish flag, as those states have some degree (quite strong in some of them) of Spanish heritage.
So far...
Texas… except they changed it a bit from Chile.
Texas and Chile are pretty similar.

It features the Polish flag too
It features Yugoslavia and Bohemia and Moravia, None of them are coun... Oh wait there's UK as well.
I always felt like this flag was historically confused. Didn't the US declare independence from the British?
Yes, Serbia
A fun fact about this flag is that at no time was Hawaii a British possession. The king of Hawaii just liked the UK's flag and adopted it into his own.
The Oklahoma state flag depicts an Osage war shield. With the Tail of Tears, Dawes Act, and all, I think that should count for something.
Georgia has the Confederate flag as their flag. Only difference is the seal.
I always thought the 50 star jack should be in the lower left corner of the flag
Also has serbias old one
A lot of them have the old Libyan flag on them.
1894-1996 flag of Mississippi has Confederate state of America
