What does the yellow star on the Burnett Flag stand for?
The Burnett flag was the original flag of the Republic of Texas. The Burnett flag duplicated the flag of the Republic of West Florida, but changed the color of the star from white to gold. The design honors the Republic of West Florida as the first "Lone Star State". The Republic of West Florida was illegally annexed by force by the United States government without the approval of congress. The flag of the Republic of West Florida therefore became a symbol of US expansionism and aggression. The West Florida flag became known as the "Bonnie Blue Flag", and was used as a battle flag by the Confederate states during the war for Southern independence. The Bonnie Blue Flag is still in use today by Texas secessionists and other Southerners who favor state's rights and/or secession from the US.

Who divided Florida into West Florida and East Florida?
Britain divided Florida into West and East Florida in 1763 to make it easier to govern, making Pensacola the capital of West Florida (East Florida retaining its old capital of St. Augustine). In 1764 WF's (West Florida's) boundary was raised from the 31st parallel north to 32* 22' north latitude. Britain returned both Floridas to Spain in 1783, and then from 1783 to 1800 it was under Spanish control. West Florida's boundary became the 31st parallel again in 1798. From 1800 to 1803 it was under French control. In 1803 the US claimed West Florida as part of the Louisiana Purchase. In 1810 the Republic of West Florida was formed, only to be forcibly annexed that same year by the US. Spain relinquished its claims to West Florida in 1819 through the Adams-Onis Treaty, which also gave the US all of East Florida. From that point on it was part of the US. West Florida's west boundary was the Mississippi River, and its east boundary was the Apachiola River in present-day Florida.
