No I don't. Not sure what that has to do with anything. The Lone Star flag was created before Texas was admitted into the Union. If Cuba ever became a state, I assume the state flag would stay the same.

The Confederate flag was created specifically to denote its separation from the US.

Ah contraire, mon ami.

(Little French lingo there to demonstrate my fondness for little froggies.)

It has everything to do with the direction from which your comments come.

You don’t know where the Lone Star comes from....out in lost country where you reside....pity too....a beautiful state overrun by libs and softies

The Lone Star configuration was used in the Deep South for various territories prior to annexation

Texas being founded primarily by southerners used the Lone Star as it was known in their 1838 flag and it had been used in some war flags for their independence....Scotts .....Troutmans....etc

The lone star configuration without bars became known as the Bonnie Blue at some point along the way but it was first known as the Lone Star flag in nw Florida around 1810

It flew over Misissippi in 1861 after secession before the First National flag and where the song was coined

Texas flag is linked to the same original southern genesis of the Lone Star
