I added a comment to the page with some explanation. It's all going to depend on what you define as a Confederate flag. There were at least 3 versions of the CSA flag. There were also State flags that changed during the course of the war. There were unit flags too. The CSA had official flags as well as Naval flags. I suppose Commanders had individual ensigns too.

Flags of the CSA could be a very long study. It might be fun to try to collect images of all of them, but it might take a very long time and tremendous effort. Flags of the USA, and it's individual States and Units all changed during the course of the war too.

Flags probably evolved from heraldry. Maybe it's the other way around. I really don't know, I'm no expert. You in GB have had experts employed to chronicle and study these things for a long time. As far as I can tell, we haven't, but here's a link to some folks who are trying.
