Does anyone else see the irony in this? Could it be that Texas will soon again fly the Lone Star Republic flag?
On this day, in 1835, Texans officially proclaimed independence from Mexico, and called itself the Lone Star Republic, after its flag, until its admission to the Union in 1845.
Below are some of the flags flown over Texas. There are six national flags that have flown over Texas, along with several non-national flags.It goes without saying that some of these flags may have changed over time. For example, the addition of Texas to the United States was not the 50th state, so Texas would see many versions of the American flag as states were added. For more on these national flags, check out Lone Star Junction’s Six National Flags of Texas.
