That flag wasn't actually used to represent the confederacy while the confederacy existed; it was rejected. It got popular during World War 2, because units made up of southerners liked to fly it to represent their southerness. Then the Dixicrats picked it up, and it started getting flown at state houses and incorporated into flags.
