The "Light of Liberty" flag, an early Texas flag proposal shows the Lone Star of Texas and the British Union Jack on the tricolor of Mexico to represent the ancestral roots of modern Texas. |

This flag, the Wharton-Archer flag, was created by early advocates of Texas independence. The Union Jack is for the origins of the Anglo-Saxon race and the symbolism of Washington is obvious. The blue stripe was originally to be green as the background was a Mexican tricolor but this was changed to American red, white & blue. |

A homemade flag for Confederate Texans. This was not an official flag but during the campaign to remove the Confederate emblem from the Georgia flag led many Confederates in other states to adopt versions of their own flags with the Confederate cross included this way. |
