<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1266603, member: 31533"]I can't easily find why it would have twelve stars but I would surmise it probably is not an "error". The 13 stars would have represented the original 13 states, but at the time of the civil war, the US had 33 states, of which 11 seceded. Some states joined during the civil war, so that added a couple to each side. </p><p>This may just have to be a mystery until some obscure text can be found to say why the 12 stars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
