Looking for A Alamo Flag in gif

1824 Flag – Alamo The 1824 flag was designed by Captain Philip Dimmitt in October 1835. Dimmitt wrote to Stephen F. Austin on October 27, 1835, saying, “I have had a flag made—the colours, and their arrangement the same as the old one [Mexican national flag]—with the words and figures, ‘Constitution of 1824,’ displayed on the white, in the centre.”

During the early days of the Texas Revolution, many Texians supported the restoration of the Constitution and separate statehood instead of complete independence from Mexico. The 1824 flag represented that initial loyalty.

Unlike the other Texas Revolution flags, which were made for a specific militia company or event and there was never more than one of, the 1824 flag spread across Texas. There are accounts of the 1824 flag being flown throughout Texas. Hermann Ehrenberg of the First New Orleans Grays wrote that at the welcome banquet in Nacogdoches, the centerpiece was a huge black bear holding the “flag of the constitution of 1824” in its teeth.

People have long assumed that the 1824 flag was the flag that flew at the Alamo. The idea was that until Texas officially declared independence, they were fighting for the restoration of the Constitution of 1824. However, it wasn’t until histories of the Texas Revolution were being written in the 1850s and 1860s that the 1824 flag appeared in accounts of the siege. There are no contemporary sources that describe the 1824 flag at the Alamo, and modern historians have questioned how strongly Texians, especially William B. Travis, would have identified with the Federalist cause by late February.

There are two contemporary Mexican accounts of the Coahuila y Tejas flag being flown from the Alamo, but since most Texians were firmly in favor of separate statehood for Texas as a minimum, that also seems unlikely.

Ultimately, we’ll never know if the 1824 flag was the one Travis referenced when he wrote “our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat.” However, even if it wasn’t, it is still significant as the first legal flag in revolutionary Texas. In November 1835, the Consultation began to issue letters of marque and reprisal to privateers while they built a navy. For a privateer to be official, they had to fly under a recognized flag, but since Texas didn’t have an national flag yet, privateers flew the “flag of the Republic of the United States of Mexico, and shall have the figures 1, 8, 2, 4 cyphered in large Arabics on the white ground thereof.” This flag continued be used by Texian ships until after independence was officially declared.

FWIW, I was taught the 1824 flag was flown at The Battle of The Alamo. I think the 1824 flag pretty much accepted, if not proven.

Here’s Davy Crockett defending the Alamo.

Thank you very much for your post. I just got done ordering an 1824 Flag should be flying by Monday!

GOD Bless Texas! God Bless the United States! And God Bless Governer Eric Holcomb for doing the right thing and STANDING with Texas!

I can’t help but think the dates are an omen.

Alamo Flag was a Mexican Tricolor flag with 1824 on it—for the Liberal Constitution of 1824 (that gave power to the states of Mexico) Mexican Tyrant Santa Anna couldn’t permit this—he wanted all the power. A large number of men in the Alamo were Mexicans fighting for their rights.

Sounds like the now the states are standing on their rights and Biden is a tyrant!
