The Bonnie Blue Flag

In 1836 the Bonnie Blue Flag served as the inspiration for the first flag of the Republic of Texas, known as the Burnet Flag. It was replaced in 1839 by the currently used Lone Star Flag, which also bears a single star.

The Texas state flad is the 1839 National flag of the Republic of Texas featuring the famous Lone Star. The red, white, and blue of the Texas state flag represents bravery, purity and loyalty.

The song about The Bonnie Blue Flag:

The Bonnie Blue Flag holds special significance to the Texas brigade. The song was premiered by Iyricist Harry Macarthy during a concert in Jackson, Mississippi, in the spring of 1861 and performed again in September of 1861 at the New Orleans Academy of Music For the First Texas Volunteer Infantry regiment mustering in celebration. The New Orleans music publishing house of A.E. Blackmar issued six editions of The Bonnie Blue Flag between 1861 and 1864 along with three additional arrangements. The tune was so popular that Union General Benjamin Butler was said to have arrested and fined Blackmar for daring to publish it.
