I have noticed that some modern flagmakers have made the first CSA national flag (and the Betsy Ross flag) with the stars straight up too, which IMO looks ridiculous! Historically, almost all of the FNF with the stars in a circle have those stars tilted in some way. (Although, there is one period FNF with the stars arranged in a circle with each star pointing up but that seems to be a rare one off). It really does not make sense when you have computers to easily arrange any type of art work on a flag or banner that they would ignore the real historical artifact and make it contrary. I wonder if it is just laziness.
