This was the flag the Texans chose as they boldly declared independence
from Mexico, refusing to swear allegiance to the new dictator Santa Ana.
Under it they fought the legendary battle of the Alamo, where Colonel
Travis and his 182 Texan fighters fended off the Santa Ana’s Army for 11
days before being captured and slain. This flag was also flown in
the war that followed, where an inflamed Texan force rallied under the
battle cry “Remember the Alamo” and dealt a devastating blow to the
Mexican Army, winning their freedom and a place in history. The flag
is based on the Mexican flag, lacking the central logo and replacing it
with the year the original constitution of Mexico was drafted, reminding
them of what they had originally agreed to and what lead to the separation
(the repealing of this constitution.)
