LONE STAR STATE
A single star was part of several flags of the early Republic of Texas.
Some say that the star represented the wish of many Texans to achieve statehood in the United States. Others say it originally represented Texas as the lone state of Mexico which was attempting to uphold its rights under the Mexican Constitution of 1824.
The pledge of allegiance to the Texas state flag:
"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and
indivisible."
