Texas secedes? Then why is he waving the US Flag?

He's waving that Yankee flag in preparation to burning it. This is going to be their new flag...

Texas is not ceding. Party's over.

Although Puerto Rico is joining the Union, what's up with that ?

These last two posts are unworthy of any kind of serious discussion on DFI, even for a non-defense topic. I have tried to explain that secession has nothing to do with the on-line petitions, yet apparently the temptation to post nonsense is not to be resisted.

Grumble, grumble.

Puerto Rico statehood is a whole different story. PR citizens are US citizens and have been given referenda on separation more than once, I believe.

NYC is a colony of PR.

None of the historical flags of the Republic of Texas incorporated the battle flag of the Confederacy.

I am concerned with his tummy.

In a real war, running skills would count a lot, and that shot-gun couldn't cope with a semi-automatic.

That is the Goliad Flag.

One week after the first shot of the Texas Revolution was fired at Gonzales, Texans led by George Collinsworth and Ben Milam took the offensive and captured the important Mexican fortress at Goliad. In Spanish these forts were called presidios, and they were originally built to protect a nearby settlement or missionary outpost.

More than two months before elected delegates from throughout Texas met at Washington on the Brazos and voted to break from Mexico, almost 100 settlers at Goliad expressed similar sentiments, signing their own declaration of independence. As the document was signed, a flag designed by Captain Phillip Dimmitt was raised over the presidio.

The flag symbolized the Texans' willingness to face any sacrifice to win their freedom.
The presidio at Goliad, established in 1749, was one of the most important military positions in the Mexican province of Texas. After the fall of the Alamo, it was also the site of the massacre of Colonel Fannin's men after their defeat and capture at Colleto. The presidio has been meticulously preserved and visitors there today get the truest feel for life in early Texas.

The cry of the Texians at San Jacinto was, "Remember Goliad, Remember the Alamo!" Santa Anna was captured at San Jacinto.

Texian is an archaic demonym which defined a resident of Mexican Texas and the Republic of Texas and the same region after annexation by the United States of America in 1845.[1] In addition to Texian, several other names were used during the period, including Texasian, Texican, and Texonian.

Citizens of the current state of Texas are generally referred to as Texans.

From a Civil War movie with John Wayne. The cadets march to "The Bonnie Blue Flag."

The scene is based on VMI cadets in the Battle of New Market.
