Pennsylvania Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

Is Pennsylvania the 2nd state of the USA or the 8th state?  The general, correct answer is both, but it depends if you want a bilateral or unilateral answer.  Then you have to frame the question, as to which rank are you referring towards?  Constitutional Rank?  Or Confederation Rank?  The US Confederation came first and later, after an acrimonious run with US Gov 1.0 version 1778, did the American population recognize the need for a stronger government with the co-creative process of US Gov 2.0: The Constitution version 1787.  Also note the pattern of the stars is the Star Eagle. 

The flag above reflects the dichotomy of Pennsylvania being the 8th state and the 2nd state.  The eight gold starts represent Pennsylvania's position as the 8th state to ratify the Confederation on March 5, 1778.  However, the two white stars represent her position at the 2nd state to ratify the Constitution on December 12, 1787.

The flag with 8 gold stars is Pennsylvania's Confederation flag.  It represents Pennsylvania's lucky position as number 8.  Eight is considered a lucky number in the China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.   Since this flag was first issued in 2020, and America now has roots to this part of the world, the number 8 is also lucky number for the USA.


The flag with two white stars solely represents Pennsylvania's position under the Constitution.  Pennsylvania won the proverbial 'silver.'


Also note that Pennsylvania's order of the twins is South Carolina.  Since they are opposites, as SC was the 2nd state of the Confederation and 8th state of the Constitution.

Finally the hour for Pennsylvania begins at 8:02 AM.
