Interesting reading. Not a student of U.S. history.
The Union Jack is a combiation of three flags and represents Great Britain & Northern Ireland or the United Kingdom not just England. It consists of the flags of:-
St.Andrew, Scotland - blue background with white diagonal cross;
St.George, England - white background with red right angle cross
and
St.???, Wales - white background with red diagonal cross
An excellent example of how the politically correct get their way is represented by the current Canadian Flag. The French quater had to get that Union Jack of the Canadian Flag. I wonder how many 'old' flags fly over Canadian War Graves?????
A star in a flag acknowledges that we are of the stars!
