Actually, it was not. The red and white stripes are based on the Austrian flag, not the American.

50 stars make the US flag too cluttered imo. 13 is just right.

Lost the colony and to top that lost a prince to the said colony, truly Portugal deserves it's meme status.

But isn't for that the stripes are there for? Wouldn't 13 stars made them redundant?

"The first official national flag of the Confederacy, often called the "Stars and Bars," was flown from March 4, 1861 to May 1, 1863. It was designed by German/Prussian artist Nicola Marschall in Marion, Alabama and resembles the flag of the Austrian Empire (later Austria-Hungary, now the Republic of Austria), with which Marschall would have been familiar."

That's the naval ensign of the Japanese navy. I'm pretty sure they still use it today.
