North Carolina Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

Like all the other 13 colonies from the American Revolution, North Carolina has 3 special Heritage Flags.  The flag above is the United Revolutionary Order Flag of North Carolina.  The 10 gold stars represent her position as the 12th state of the Confederation and the 12 silver stars represent her position as the 10th state of the Constitution. 

Nearly one year after the first US election, George Washington, was elected, would North Carolina ratify the US Constitution on November 21, 1789.   Thus North Carolina earned the twelve white starred flag to represent herself.

But nearly 10 years before the US Constitution was twinkle in Jefferson's eye, North Carolina became the 10th state of the United States when she ratified the Articles of Confederation on April 5, 1778.

Finally when you combine North Carolina's positions as the 10th- Confederation and 12-Constitution; the hour dedicated to North Carolina begins at 10:12 AM.
