The naval Jack had much lighter blue the The Army of Northern Virginia Battle Flag. The flag seen most commonly is not the Naval Jack.
The Army of Northern Virginia battle flag was square, of various sizes for the different branches of the service: 52 inches (130 cm) square for the infantry, 38 inches (97 cm) for the artillery, and 32 inches (81 cm) for the cavalry. Its design was derived from the previous Naval Jack of the Confederacy, which was rectangular. It was used in battle beginning in December 1861 until the fall of the Confederacy. The blue on the saltire in the battle flag was navy blue, as opposed to the much lighter blue of the Naval Jack.
This flag was used by the soldiers of the Army as the de facto official flag was too similar to the Union's flag. To avoid confusion on the battlefield, this flag was used consistently by almost the entire army.
The flag's stars represented the number of states in the Confederacy. The distance between the stars decreased as the number of states increased, reaching thirteen when the secessionist factions of Kentucky and Missouri joined in late 1861.[26]

This is my exact quote:
"The Confederate flag flew over a slave nation from 1861 to 1865. 4, maybe 5 years total."
What I said was the truth, but I did NOT specifically say which flag that was. You have made an assumption I was talking about a specific flag...
Here are some of the Confederate flags:

You don't need to be attached to any political party to honor the dead Confederate Soldiers.

You don't need any flag to do that either.
Why did you post the reference. It agrees with what I said.

Since the topic was about a certain flag, the natural assumption is you were speaking of that flag, but you can backpedal away from it if you wish.
