Mississippi's flag features the battle flag of the Army of North Virginia - NOT the Stars and Bars.dj1470 said:
In fact, the "southern" flag one sees the most often (such as on the Dukes of Hazzard car) was the Confederat Navy Jack.
Soooooooooooooooooo sorry. I am not a American Civil War historian but the Mississippi state flag looks close enough to the "confederate" flag we all know.johnhenrygalt said:

As for being a battle flag? All the quick research I just did indicates that the Mississippi state flag was commissioned in 1894 and that the "confederate" part really signifies the original 13 states. No where have I found anything to say that it was a "battle" flag either the saltire or the whole flag.
"In 1894, Mississippi adopted the present state flag, replacing the Magnolia Flag of a blue field and single white star, adopted in 1861 before Mississippi flew the CSA Stars and Bars. The new flag consists of a "union square" in the canton corner and a field divided into three bars of equal width; the top one blue, the middle bar white and the bottom bar, extending the entire width of the flag, red. The official wording of the legislation adopting this official state flag is quite interesting. The Confederate cross (saltire) in the canton corner is referred to as the "union square." The thirteen white stars on the cross(saltire) are "...corresponding with the number of the original States of the Union;" rather than the thirteen states of the Confederate States of America. The field of the Mississippi flag consists of the same three bars of the the first Confederate flag, the Stars and Bars, but the top stripe is blue. These three bars represent the national colors of Reconstruction."
In 2001 legislators in Mississippi tried to get rid of the "confederate" part of the state flag and replace it with 19 white stars on a blue field representing the union in 1817. It was voted down in a state wide bill more than 2-1 in a vote with over 80% turnout.
