During the First Battle of Bull Run, there was some confusion because the flag of the Confederacy (with seven stars and three stripes) was quite similar to that of the Union. The Confederacy eventually adopted a new flag, but that one was easily confused with a flag of surrender. Just before the collapse of the Confederacy, they finally adopted a flag that could not easily be confused with any other.
