America's Pre-Bicentennial Flag for 1576

America's Pre-Bicentennial took place on July 4, 1576 two hundred years before the official birth of the United States.  Since Spain had free run on the continent of that epoch the Colonial Spanish Burgundy Flag is in the Canton and a modern motif of Spain is in the the field.  The red burgundy cross has 13 white stars on it that foretell the future coming of the 13 rebellious colonies that would arise two hundred years later.

The only one 'state' area was settled by Spain since 1565, which would become a part of the future United States: Florida.  On July 4, 1576 the founders of Florida were at war with England, the Netherlands, and France during the Eighty Years War.   Also note that the territory of Spanish Florida included much of the South Eastern United States.

Flag of Adelaide Island, Antarctica

Flag of Adelaide Island

Adelaide Island was awoken to our awareness in 1832 by a British Expedition. Although Europeans claimed to discover the worlds of America and Australia, this is incorrect. However Antarctica and its major islands were indeed discovered. Adelaide is officially a new world founded by the British.


Thus this flag pays homage the founders national identity John Biscoe. The design is exactly the same as the UK Union Flag. But there is a slight alteration in colours. The white spaces and Scottish elements have been reversed. The colour white represents snow and the blue represents the Southern Seas.
