                Actually, Slowwy, that's the flag of the Republic of West Florida (which lasted exactly 90 days in 1810), and the first temporary Confederate flag. It was used for about a month or so in Alabama, Mississippi, and maybe Florida and Louisiana, the states with territory which constituted the old WFR. I am not at all away if it ever flew in Texas.

                But yes, the flag in the picture is the Confederate Naval Jack. I'm pleased to know that old dogs can be taught.

                            That, Tex is because a large contingent of volunteers for the Texas cause came from . . . the former territories of West Florida. Those flags were not used in the Civil War in Texas.

                            Influence on other flags

                            In 1835, the largest group of volunteers who came to Texas to help the Texans fight for their independence was from Louisiana.[citation needed] They came and fought under the Bonnie Blue Flag of the former Republic of West Florida. The Bonnie Blue in turn served as the inspiration for the original flag of Texas, known as the Burnet Flag. The Burnet Flag was identical to the Bonnie Blue except that the star was yellow. Variants of the Burnet Flag with a white star, virtually identical to the Bonnie Blue, were also common. It was replaced in 1839 by the currently used Lone Star Flag, which also bears a single star. That's why many Louisianians like to say, "We hung the star over Texas!"[citation needed]

                            The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag was also the inspiration for the red star in the 1846 Bear Flag of California.

                                Texas never wins... that's why they are a state and not their own country.
                                To us, it is the BEAST.
