Texas state flag Lone Star Flag

The Texas state flag was adopted in 1839 at the national flag of the Republic of Texas. In 1845, the Lone Star Flag was adopted as the Texas state flag when TX became the 28th state of the United States - it remains as the Texas state flag today. The white stripe represents strength, the red stripe stands for bravery, and the blue represents loyalty.

Georgia state flag

The current Georgia state flag was adopted on May 8th, 2003. The Georgia state flag has three red and white stripes and the state coat of arms on a blue field in the upper left corner. Thirteen stars surrounding the seal represent Georgia's position as one of the original thirteen colonies. On the seal, the three pillars supporting an arch represent the three branches of government; legislative, judicial and executive. A man with sword drawn is defending the Constitution, whose principles are wisdom, justice and moderation. The date 1776 represents the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

South Carolina state flag

The South Carolina state flag is one of the oldest state flags still in use. Its basic design goes back to 1765 on a banner carried by SC protesters of the Stamp Act. The banner that the protesters hoisted displayed three white crescents on a blue background. Ten years later a flag with a single crescent, or new moon, was hoisted in the Revolutionary war. Colonel William Moultrie designed a flag for the South Carolina soldiers using the blue color of their uniforms as the field and a silver crescent, which the soldiers wore on the front of their caps. Colonel Moultrie built a fort of Palmetto logs on Sullivan’s Island to defend the island against British warships. The British warships were defeated in the Battle of Fort Moultrie, in part because the cannonballs that the ships fired could not destroy the walls of the fort. Instead, they sank into the soft, tough Palmetto logs. When South Carolina seceded from the Union, a new South Carolina state flag was created by adding a Palmetto tree that was centered on the blue field. The South Carolina state flag that flies over the state of SC today is of the same design that flew over the independent South Carolina during the Civil War.
