Rhode Island Revolutionary Heritage Flags

Rhode Island has three Revolutionary Heritage Flags.  These new designs account for Rhode Islands' order of accepting the governments of the United States.  The flag above with white and gold stars reflects Rhode Islands' rank as the 4th state of the Articles of Confederation and 13th state with the US Constitution.

Usually gold represents the original epoch of some age—like the Golden Age of Hollywood, Movies, Comics, Video Games, etc.  Thus the ratification of the first government of Rhode Island is represented by gold stars.

When you only take the view of the Articles of Confederation period, a field of four gold stars represent Rhode Island.

The hour dedicated to Rhode Island is at that earliest of Dawn's Early Light—4:13 AM.

Since Rhode Island was the 13th state to ratify the US Constitution, a circle of 13 white stars represents this order.  However, this is also the flag for the nation, as the Betsy Ross flag.  Consequently, the golden anchor from the state flag makes an appearance.   This also clarifies that this flag represents Rhode Island, rather than the US Yacht Ensign, which has a tilted white anchor with a fowled line.
