subject: Flags Of The Past - Bonnie Blue [print this page] Of all the countries in the world, the United States of America are likely to fly the largest collection of flags and banners from flag poles in our day. The different states alone each have their uniquely designed identifying banner or flag. Historic flags of all kinds, including the Bonnie Blue flag, can often be observed attached to the various flagpoles throughout the United States.
On such historic flag that was flown during the earlier days of the U.S. was the so called Bonnie Blue flag. This particular banner shows a blue colored field or background on which a white star is displayed. Interestingly, this flag only flew for a short amount of time and was identified with the (at that time) Republic of West Florida. It was also flown from flag poles and such during other historic periods of America.
The Bonnie Blue flag was first design by the wife of an Army official who commonly is known to have been leading the "Dragoons" some centuries ago. It was very first observed at a Spanish fort in the area of Baton Rouge (French for red stick) during the initial years of the 19th century. The above mentioned republic was done away with some months later.
Flags and banners over time inspired flags and banners. Fascinating similarities exist between national banners that are attached to flag poles all over the world. The same applies to historic type banners, including the Bonnie Blue flag. This flag inspired the makers of the first flag of the Republic of Texas during the 1800-s.
Interestingly, today the Bonnie Blue banner flies in most of the Florida Parishes of the State of Louisiana, and is also used on road signs along I-12, which has been named the "Republic of West Florida Parkway." I have personally bumped into various people displaying this from their flagpoles.
Modern day manufacturing of historic (battle) flags for use with residential and commercial type flagpoles include the Bonnie Blue. Banners and flags are produced using the highest standard in production technology. The same applies to flagpoles. Flagpoles are made available in different materials, including aluminum and fiberglass. Each material comes with its unique advantages.
