Please no. Those aren't countries. They aren't distinct nation states the way the UK nations are. Most of us understand that the Confederate flag only came back into vogue with the right against desegregation in the south. Look it up, it's not your heritage unless you are a seditious rebel that fought to preserve slavery. It's a symbol of hate and bigotry, period. Don't fool yourself. It is. Texas isn't a country while it once was, it never could have remained independent. The USA would have absorbed it, or Mexico reconquered it.
You don't have to worry, they won't put 'historical' flags in. A dev came in after I suggested imperial versions of modern day country flags and symbols and they won't do it. As for your political commentary, I'd keep it to yourself. This is not the place for such debate, no matter how entertaining. See the following post for the ruling on historic flags and symbols.

I will point out, though, for the sake of education. The flag on the right was flown as a battle flag - flown as a regimental standard and naval ensign, later to be incorporated into the flag of the Confederate States of America - which was a country despite your opinion. The flag on the right is the flag of that country, not the flag of the Republic of Texas, which you suggest. Below is the flag of the Republic of Texas.
