Flags

My recollection of a book I read once and found hysterical is that this tradition goes way, way back, to baseball in the 1880s. In a old, old book by a man named Richter called "History and Record of Base Ball" I distinctly remember reading that in the rules drawn up by one of the old baseball leagues, (it may have been the National Association of Base Ball Clubs) one of the decrees suggested something to the effect that part of the moneys collected by the league would go towards the purchasing of a championship "streamer", which was to be given to the club that won the championship and flown outside their home field for the next season. Whether or not this is the first record of a flag/pennant/streamer being used as an award for the best team, I'm not sure. It is a tough book to find but certainly a great one if you are interested in the game's history.

The first flag of the United States of America according to the flag resolution of June 14, 1777, in the Continental Congress had 13 stars and 13 stripes. The current 50-star flag dates to July 4th, 1960 . In total there were 27 different official flags of the United States. Several states joined within a single year. For example in 1795 our flag went from 13 stars and stripes to 15 stars and 15 stripes representing the new states of Vermont and Kentucky. Then in 1818 after five more states joined we had a 20 star and 13 stripe US flag, our 3rd flag.

In Australia, it is referred to colloquially as the Southern Cross. It was taken as a representative of Australia, as you can only see it from the southern hemisphere. It also represents class equality and political rights, and has done ever since it was used on the flag of the Rebels of the Eureka Stockade.

The 13 stripes on the USA flag represent the 13 original colonies. There were at one time also 13 stars, but as the number of states grew, so did the stars. The number of stripes has always remained the same to remember the original 13.

No, the flag just has five rings joined together, there isn't anything dirty or sexual about that.

For many people, there is no confusion. The "stars and bars", the flag based on the Cross of St. Andrew, became the Confederate battle flag, is the most recognizable symbol of not only the confederacy, but also of the segregation laws that followed for almost 100 years. A flag is a symbol -- it represents something, it stands not for a place, but for a philosophy, a way of life. Many people, when they see the "confederate flag", they do not see the history of the South -- the flag symbolizes for them the oppression, discrimination, cruelty, that is also part of the history of that flag.

In 1865, one of General Lee's last orders was, "furl the flag, boys". Over 150 years later, those who would pay homage to what Robert E. Lee honored, refuse to recognize what Gen. Lee meant -- put that flag away, we are one nation again, and we all owe allegiance to one flag only, that of the United States.

The flag of "England" is the cross of St. George, red "t" on a white background The Union Jack (i.e. the flag of the United Kingdom) includes the crosses of St. George, St. Andrew (Scotland = White "X" on blue background) and St. Patrick (Ireland = Red "X" on white background)

The flag of Austria has three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and red. The Austrian flag is possibly the oldest national flag design in the world. Origins Duke Friedrich II (1210-1246), the last of the Babenberg dynasty, who was nicknamed the "Quarrelsome" or the "Warlike", designed a new coat of arms in red-white-red in the year 1230 in his attempt to become more independent from the Holy Roman Empire. Legend According to legend, the flag was invented by Duke Leopold V of Austria (1157-1194) as a consequence of his fighting during the Crusades. After a fierce battle, his white battle dress was completely drenched in blood. When he removed his belt, the cloth underneath was untouched by it, revealing the combination of red-white-red. So taken was he by this singular sight that he adopted the colors and scheme as his banner. Use during the MonarchyAlthough the combination of red-white-red was since the late Middle Ages widely considered to be the "Austrian" colours and used by both the Babenberg and the Habsburg dynasties in connection with their Austrian territories, the national flag of Austria (in a modern sense) until 1918 was black-yellow. These were the family colours of the House of Habsburg, and were themselves in part derived from the Holy Roman Empire. Beginning in the reign of Emperor Joseph II., the Austrian, later Austro-Hungarian Navy used a Naval Ensign (Marineflagge) based on the red-white-red colours, and augmented with a shield of similar colours. Both of these flags became obsolete with the dissolution of the Empire in 1918, and the newly formed Republic of Austria adopted red-white-red as its national flag.

"Owner" or controlling Government? The official owners were the Companies who paid from the explorations, but, after Columbus founded the Americas, England gained control as the Sovereign Government, and granted "Charters" to shipping companies to Colonize and develop the lands...
