I would love to know the story behind how that flag and the Texas state flag look so similar. Did we take our design from them or did they take their design from us? Or did they originate individually?

from the story linked to above, “They are not the battle rebel flag that has become a symbol of hate,” he said in the email. “They actually look more like flags of the state of Texas.”
