New Jersey Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

The following three flags represent the state of New Jersey.  The first flag has 11 gold stars to represent New Jersey's position as the 11th state in the original Union under the Articles of Confederation on November 19, 1778.  It was in this union that the name of the United State of America was officially determined, as opposed to the rebelling colonies.  Likewise gold is associated with the original, earliest of times as the Golden Age of "whatever."  Thus, up from about 1765 until 1788 was the Golden Age US history.



The silver age began with the 2nd formation of the US Government.  Consequently we have silver-white stars.  In this case New Jersey won the 'bronze' medal as the 3rd state to affirm and ratify the US Constitution on December 18, 1787.   It is the later Constitutional order that is keenly remembered and commemorated.   This begs the question, why is the original order overlooked or ignored?

Finally we have the united order for New Jersey.  It has stars united from the older Golden Era and latter Silver Era.  They make the pattern of a tulip or diving eagle.

With these two number of 11 and 3 we get the hour of 11:03 dedicated to New Jersey.
