That being said you can still see plenty of other flags with meaning flying high at the cook-off most notably Bonnie Blue and the Come And Take It flag.

I don’t think in any of my posts I have mentioned anything of the confederacy. The first official flag of Texas was the Burnet flag. It was basically identical to Bonnie Blue except it had a gold star. Due to Bonnie Blue’s popularity many chose to emulate it by having a white star on their Burnet flag. When I see Bonnie Blue I think of states rights. Why you felt the need to “correct” me I'll never know. Especially since the two flags I mentioned were flags of the Texas Revolution. Hence their meaning. And on a side note the Come And Take It flag has a….single star. See a pattern? We won our war and will fly our flags.

/edit: before anyone corrects me I do understand that Bonnie Blue predates the Texas Revolution.
