who should have won the american civil war

This is little of topic, but not quite as it is related to the American Civil War and I know there are people here who can answer this question I have...

What is the meaning of the "Bonnie Blue Flag" (overall blue flag with single white star) in the Confederacy? What is its origin? Is this somehow related to the state of Texas, as I know that this state to this day has single white star on its flag? As I understand Confederacy during its existence changed national flag several times. Was a Bonnie Blue Flag an Confederate national flag at one time, or was this only some sort of 'unofficial' flag of the South?

The Bonnie Blue Flag, a single white star on a blue field, was the flag of the short-lived Republic of West Florida.[1] In September 1810, settlers in the Spanish territory of West Florida revolted against the Spanish government and proclaimed an independent republic. The Bonnie Blue Flag was raised at the Spanish fort in Baton Rouge on September 23, 1810. On December 6, 1810, West Florida was annexed by the United States and the republic ceased to exist, after a life of 74 days.
In 1836, The Bonnie Blue served as the inspiration for the first flag of the Republic of Texas, known as the Burnet Flag. It was replaced in 1839 by the currently used Lone Star Flag, which also bears a single star.
