Fun fact, the Hawaii nation put the British flag in the corner to troll with the French and US ships in 1812. “I see the US stripes... but the British thing too... what is that?!?”
The CSA was a Republic. It left the Union with the legal means. Slavery was profitable to the North as the sale of cotton fueled the internal improvements and, in Adolf Lincoln's on words, "if the South leaves who will pay for the Federal government". It is long past time for the ignorance and willful blissful arrogance of anti-Confederate attitudes to end. The CSA did not invent slavery and as they were Americans to the Southerner were more than capable to end slavery as the North claims it was.
The Hawaiian flag comes from when Hawaii was its own kingdom, the king Kamehameha needed a flag during the war of 1812, the flag is meant to symbolize that Hawaii was not on either side as well as the king needed a flag so that ships that came to trade that was unique
The symbol on the flag of Nevada is not actually the state seal. The sagebrush underneath the star are the state’s flower, the star symbolizes Nevada itself, and the motto “Battle Born” references the state’s creation during the civil war. And the text “Nevada” stands for you know... Nebraska?
The Maryland flag isn't actually supposed to represent the Confederates. It actually represents the Calvert family and the Crossland family. (Gold and black = Calvert, red and white = Crossland)
It was once a British colony, in WW2, the British had control of Hawaii, to defend Hong Kong from Japanese invasion. Then, the Japanese army killed every British soldier there, and then it was a Japanese colony. America invadeD Hawaii, and recked the Japanese, then giving Hawaii back to the British Empire, as soon as the British Empire fell, Hawaii was part of the U.S.
Soooo... Basically you hate anything that has a coat of arms / seal / text on it. Thats... Not a very good thing. Coat of arms are made to show history in as little as possible, which is a good design, but not amazing in a flag. Still, just cause it has a coat of arms doesnt mean its a bad flag. Same with seals. Also yeah, confederate flags in 2018. Wtf.
Well, seals and coats of arms are good, it's just that in general they don't look very good on flags, especially when crammed into a tiny amount of space
The reason he (and me too) think they're bad, is simply because NOT A SINGLE PERSON can draw or memorize the Seals. Seals are good, but not on flags, because I'd like to have a flag that I can draw on my own and recognize from a distance. Like the national flag.
I don't see what is so bad about the confederate stuff. I mean sure they had slavery and fought for it but the United States also allowed slavery under us and same with great Britain France Spain portugal and Brazil. I think confederate stuff is not an absolute bad thing about the flags mississipis flag is not bad it's almost good.
You gotta understand every western country, even Russia banned slavery 50 years before the us. You gotta understand that the confederate flags represents a country fighting to discriminate black people.
emile roberge Russia "banned" slavery in 1723. And they did that by converting slaves to serfs which is basically the same thing. Serfs could be bought traded and sold. Serfs had to work for their Lord or master. And could not leave the property they were bound to. Serfdom wasn't banned in Russia until the 1860's which is the same decade the US got rid of theirs...

You saved yourself with the good review of the Texas flag Let me give you the symbolism The red white and blue is pretty much the same The white and red stripes represent the original Texas rebellion flag which was basically the flag of Poland with the words "come and take it" On it. They used this phrase for a later variation with a cannon on it. The blue banner and the star is meant to represent Texas as the lone Star state! Fun fact the red star on the California flag represents Texas

Oklahoma’s state flag does not feature the state seal/coat of arms, but rather a traditional Native American shield behind a peace pipe and an olive branch, which not many people would notice…
Maybe I'm wrong in this, but I think Hawaii has the union jack because it was discovered by James Cook, a British explorer. So it's more of a symbolic reason, instead of a commonwealthish one.
Actually, the Hawaiian flag was adopted by King Kamehameha back when it was an independent kingdom. Many historians think the Union Jack and the horizontal stripes were referencing to flags of Britain and the U.S., the two biggest trading partners of the Kingdom of Hawaii, as a sign of friendship. Then some decades later, a bunch of Brits and Americans staged a coup and destroyed the monarchy against the Hawaiians' will. Such nice friends.
Vexillographer thank you, my idea has always been a mere hunch. I can't believe you of all people responded to me. I'm a small subscriber, but I loved your worst state flags video, us flag history, along with a few others.
I waited ten minutes and 22 seconds to see my flag. It sucks. About like the farm plow and the farm thingys. While New Jersey May be the densest state in the country AND all counties are Metropolitan areas, some parts of the state are EXTREMELY RURAL.

My flag rules:
1. Keep it simple
2. Use meaningful symbolism
3. Don't use too many colors (2-6 is good)
4. No lettering
5. No seals.
Iris Ariola yeah no seals
I'm happy people like my states flag(new mexico)
I don’t think that is your *own* rules
Wow, you totally made up those flag rules all by yourself.
@@silverfruit14 OMG MEXICO AAAAAAAA
The confederate battle flag is a great flag. I get that you don’t like the symbolism, but it’s not a bad flag on its own.
Yeah, from a design standpoint, it's pretty good. But y'know, it's associated with the CSA
ossi_ both of the Confederate flags look good
Bizarre Bits True
Bizarre Bits The CSA is amazing you Yankee tyrant. THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!!
The CSA was a Republic. It left the Union with the legal means.

Regarding the flag of Oregon, it's even crazier when you consider it's freaking two-sided!

why did you make it vir gun ia
texas has guns
Tracy Howard so does Kentucky, whats your point?
So does Virginia, and Florida, and some parts of New Jersey.
@@fumiyamda9223 holy crap it's the USSR I thought you were dead
Texas has the most registered guns. Double the amount of the 2nd top state.
I agree with you about the state seals on dark blue. There are way too many flags like that.
The Hawaiian flag comes from when Hawaii was its own kingdom, the king Kamehameha needed a flag during the war of 1812, the flag is meant to symbolize that Hawaii was not on either side as well as the king needed a flag so that ships that came to trade that was unique
I live in louisiana and its ok, k eep up the good work!

When you Virginia at the end it sounded like we’re done yeah
I personally like Louisiana flag (despite the motto that could be removed), it's very different of others because of the pelicans.
I thought the ny state flag was good... until I saw that a lot of states has basically the same flag.
And i am a Californian person and you think my birth flag was stupid. Well you are just rude to somebody. I'm gonna make a rant video out of you

Yoy! Also thanks for taking my idea on your 2nd channel.
The rules for a good flag:
No text
No lazy slapped coat of arms on the flag
Have a good imagery but not too much
Hawaii has a Union Jack in flag because they wanted to show their friendship with the British
