Glenn Adcox described<ref>Erwin Ray, "Stare's Nutrition And Civil War Strip", Editor & Publisher 2 April 1960, p 73</ref> the strip as: 
  "Under the Stars and Bars" will pictorially record the struggle for a lost cause through the Centennial years of the Civil War. <br> Fred Fredericks, the author and artist, who lives at Gillette, N. J., is a Civil War buff, a former Marine and creator of an historical strip, "New Jersey's Patriots," which ran for more than two years in 18 leading New Jersey newspapers.<br> Mr. Fredericks has done considerable research on the Civil War and has available more than 1,000 source books for his true story of the Southern cause. More importantly, the strip will detail little known stories of high adventure and bravery by Confederates against insurmountable odds.<br> "Many newspapers plan to encourage school children to clip 'Under the Stars and Bars' and make a scrapbook which they can keep as a permanent historical record," said Mr. Adcox. "All of the sweep and action of the great battles and great Southern heroes will be depicted in Fredericks' superb art work."<br> This is a Southern strip for Southern newspapers, it was explained.<br> Mr. Fredericks plans to travel to many of the battle sites in Dixie during the Centennial years and do first-hand research where the action took place.
