South Carolina State Heritage Flags

Flag of South Carolina

The following flags are based upon a mesh of various states with the theme of South Carolina. Soon after independence South Carolina like most of the other colonies laid claim to lands west to the Mississippi River. Back then it seemed a tiny sliver of Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi was gonna' be a part of South Carolina.

At least until 1787 - during USA version 1.0 under the Articles of Confederation. After 1787 South Carolina learned to make due with her relatively small size.

So in honor of the short period from 1776 unto 1787, when SC had a western claim, I have created state history heritage flags for states that have become a forlorn twinkle in South Carolina's eyes. These flags are to be flown over the parts of the modern day states that should'a went to South Carolina, but didn't.

Georgia-South Carolina Heritage Flag
The South Carolorgia Flag

The northern crown of Georgia once belonged to South Carolina. But since all the original 13 colonies were giving up their Mississippi shore front, South Carolina had to follow suit. One for all and all for one? Or is it monkey do monkey see?





Mississippi-South Carolina Heritage Flag
The South Carolississppi Flag

Back in the 1780s, South Carolina was fixin' for an international border. Only if, if alternate forks of history were to'a of been done.

Some people even say you still hears ol' South Carolina prospector ghosts walking around the tippy top northern portion of Mississippi.



Tennessee-South Carolina Heritage Flag
The South Carolinessee Flag

Just'a wee nibbly spickle and speckle of southern Tennessee were'on track to be parts of South Carolina.







Alabama-South Carolina Flag
The South Carolabama Flag

The crescent moon and pine tree were doubled in that fancy Nancy heraldic like fashion to keep it balanced.

The Georgia Heritage Mississippi & Alabama Flags

When Georgia became a part of the United States in 1788 part of its official territory was composed of what would become Alabama and Mississippi. In honor of that time period when Georgia bordered New Spain and the Mississippi River I have created Heritage flags that combines elements of Georgia's Flag with the would be 'Daughters of Georgia.'


Mississippi Georgia Heritage Flag
The Missigeorgia Flag

The canton was made mostly blue like Georgia State flag and yellow was added since Georgia has a touch of yella' in it.

From 1788 unto 1802 the northern part of Mississippi was a part of Georgia. This is when Georgia bordered the Mississippi river, for 14 years. Georgia fought tooth an nail to hold on to her Mississippi shoreline but the federal government thought otherwise, thanks to President Jefferson.

Alabama-Georgia Heritage Flag
The Georgibama Flag

Alabama borders Georgia and was once a part of her in the same time frame from 1788 unto 1802. Here the canton of Georgia's flag is replaced with Alabama's flag.

Tennessee North Carolina Heritage Flag

Tennessee-North Carolina Heritage Flag
North Tennolina Flag

Until 1790 Tennessee was a part of North Carolina. Thusm this flag was made to honor the North Carolina Heritage of Tennessee.

The pattern is similar but both horizontal bars are red. Instead of a 'N' and 'C' there is a 'T' and 'N.'

Likewise the dates are different. They refer to the admission of Tennessee as an American State. Tennessee was the first of the 'Born Again American States.' On June 24, 1866 it was readmitted under a coincidentally North Carolina born President - Andrew Johnson. Tennessee was first admitted into the United States on June 1, 1796.

Wyoming Territory Flag and Heritage Flags 1868-1890

Wyoming Territorial Flag 1868-1890

Something like Back to Future, this flag was made official 101 years after the Wyoming Territory ceased to exist. Thus Wyoming is the first state to instate an official flag for a time period that had already happened!

But there is an authentic element via the seal and coat of arms which were official when Wyoming was indeed a territory.

New Brunswick-Maine Heritage Flag

New Brunswick-Maine Heritage Flag
The New Mainswick Flag

This flag is to be flown over the region in Maine or New Brunswick that was claimed and lost by Canada or the United States.

Basically it's the New Brunswick flag with a United States twist. The Royal English Lion is replaced with the Constellation of Leo the Lion. It maintains a 'Royal Lion' but in a 'new constellation' in honor of the US Flag. The water waves are changed to red and white in Yankee Tradition.

Although the 4th of July is an American Holiday, it is also a vital moment in Canadian History. This flag is appropriate since it was 100 years ago that Canada and the USA were at war with each other. But since then relations between these sibling nations is as good as it gets, relative to most of the nations of the world.

Domestically Maine and New Brunswick are like border states/provinces between the North and the South as it is in Kentucky or Maryland. But the historical division is wider between these 'brother nations ' who went their separate ways in 1776.

Flags in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle 2004

Harold and Kumar by US Flag in White Castle

In 2004 the void left by Cheech and Chong was filled up by Harold and Kumar, with the release of the movie Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.


The coincidence is that Cheech and Chong are somewhat analogous to Harold and Kumar. Cheech is a mix of Indian and Chong is mix of Asian. Likewise Harold is Asian while Kumar is Indian.

Cheech and Chong were a comedic duo of a 1/2 Asian person with a 1/2 Indian person who were both glued together by a common 1/2 Caucasian heritage. Just in case you forgot, people of Mexican identity are generally a mix of Caucasian and Native Indian. Also Chong was a 50/50 mix of Chinese and Fine Canadian White.

But Harold and Kumar are full blooded - Asian and Indian. The funny thing is that Europeans thought they were in India thus the name stuck with the aboriginals of America, however most Native Americans look more East Asian than India Indian.

To complicate matters further, the term Asian in the US is warped to signify East Asian people only. Officials and the media overlook that India, Israel, and Arabia are also a part of Asia. What this means is that New York has a higher percentage of Asians than what's normally considered Asian when you factor Middle Eastern, Israeli and India people into the ratio.

Confused? Basically you're average American Joe (Asian or not) usually considers people of only of Mongoloid features to be Asian, but Asia is bigger than that. Suffice to say that most of the people in the Torah, Bible, and Koran were Asian.

Nonetheless, Cheech and Chong were West Coast go with flow Cali-style, but Harold and Kumar are East Coast New Jersey Nutballs, like George Carlin. Finally note that, although Harold and Kumar are younger than Cheech and Chong, Harold and Kumar's ethnic family trees are much older. Mexican people have been on the planet for less than 500 years.

There is a green and white commercial ad flag on the wall above the fire extinguisher. You can also see the livery of White Castle - which is blue and white, via the pennants. Also Neil Patrick Harris plays himself as a famous person who runs into 'regular folk.'
