First of all crisscrossed bars are popular throughout the world including every country with a past or present association with England.

I doubt that the people who adopted this flag could id any relic associated with the CSA, if they even know what the CSA was.

Second, the official flag of the CSA was the Stars and Bars.

The crisscrossed bars were adopted as a battle flag because they were easily distinguishable from the USA flag.
