Why was the Texas flag chosen for Texas?

Answer 1

The official state flag of Texas, called the Lone Star Flag, was adopted in 1845 when Texas became the 28th state of the United States. The colors represent bravery (red), purity (white), and loyalty (blue). The large white star was first used on Texas flags in the 1830's during the battles between Texas and Mexico.

Answer 2

You are misinformed. Every state in the union has a flag of it's own, not just Texas.

Texans will occasionally claim that they are the only part of the US that was at one time a sovereign nation, but that's not true either; opinions differ about California (California claimed to be independent at one time, but it's less than clear that they actually ever were so in fact; they never really formed a government, and their "independence" consisted mainly of a few people saying "Hey Mexico, we're independent of you guys now" for about a month before joining/being claimed by the US), but it's indisputable that the Kingdom of Hawaii truly was an independent country (it's less clear that the later Republic of Hawaii was independent of the US in any meaningful way).

Answer 3

Texas is known as "The Lone Star State", so the flag features a single star.

Answer 4

About 1/3 Blue on the left with a white star in the center, the remainder of the flag is divided horizontally into two colors, Red and White, with white being above red.

Answer 5

Most of the settlers in Texas were from The US. It was modled after the US Flag. The one star is from the fact that we were 1 county not many states.
