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.

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. 

New Hampshire Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

The flag above is the United New Hampshire Revolutionary Order Heritage Flag.  There are two types of stars: gold and silver-white.  The gold stars indicate New Hampshire's position as the 7th state with the first government, and the silver stars indicate her position as the 9th state with second government.  Oddly, most history books and the dominant memory of things prefer the second time around—most sites declare NH as the 9th state.

When the canton only has 7 gold stars it refers to New Hampshire's rank under the Articles of Confederation as the 7th state on March 4, 1778 during the heat of the Revolution.  Note the colour gold often indicates an older time period, as is the case with this example.

Nine white stars in the Canton refer to New Hampshire's position as the 9th state to ratify the 'do over' government of 1788—the US Constitution.

Consequently the hours of New Hampshire begins at 7:09. 

Massachusetts Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags indicate the position of each of the original 13 colonies, whence they official joined to become the United States of America.  Since Massachusetts was the 9th state for the first government under Articles of Confederation she gets nine gold stars.  Later when the government underwent a major upgrade via the US Constitution, Massachusetts became the 6th state in the 2° Union.  The flag above is the united pattern.  Since gold usually represents an earlier age and silver comes later.

Right now, the dominant ordering is with the US Constitution.  Thus most historians and public officials declare Massachusetts as the 6th state.  What they mean is that Massachusetts was the sixth state to ratify the US Constitution.

However, Massachusetts was the 9th state of the original Union.  Only if, only if the Articles of Confederation would have been more effective form of government; then we would remember Massachusetts's original rank as the 9th state of the USA.  In fact the official name of the United States of America (USA) was specified under the Articles of Confederation, not the US Constitution.

The six white starred flag of Massachusetts reflects Massachusetts's rank as the 6th state to ratify the second government of the USA—The US Constitution.

Consequently the hour dedicated to Massachusetts begins at 6:09 AM.  

Georgia Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

The flag on this post represent the state of Georgia from various points of view.  The flag above with gold and silver stars represent Georgia's temporal position as the 6th and 4th state to ratify the constitutions of the USA.  With the first document to unite the 13 colonies into one nation was the Article of Confederation.  Georgia joined this league of rebel colonies on February 26, 1778.   About a decade later this league of colonies came to the conclusion that they needed reprogram the operating systems of this league of now 13 independent states.  After this new, obligatory system of laws was coded, it was christened as the Constitution.  Upon its release to public, Georgia downloaded and accepted final user end term agreement on January 2, 1788.

The Constitutional Rank flag for Georgia has four white stars, since she was the fourth state to ratify this document.

The Confederation Rank flag for Georgia has six gold stars, since she was the sixth state to ratify this document.

When you add up both ranks it that providential way, the hour dedicated to Georgia begins at 6:04 AM.

New York Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

The following flags represent New York State.  The flag above is the united rank flag, that represents New York's position as the 3rd and 11th state.   Most papers and historians regard New York as the 11th state.  Reason being, New York was the 11th state to ratify the US Constitution.  Thus there are 11 white stars in the canton.   But remember the US Constitution is the second, replacement government of the USA.  The original government ran under the 'coding' of the Articles of Confederation.

The three golden starred flag represents New York's rank as the third state in the Original Union via the Articles of Confederation.  Most historians and documents ignore or overlook the value of the first government.  It is like a first embarassing love, that historians just want to forget.  But history is history and New York got the 'bronze' for that order, under the Articles of Confederation on February 6, 1778. 

The following flag with eleven white stars represents the dominant citation of New York being the 11th state, under the US Constitution.

Consequently the hour of New York is at the most scared hour of the night: 3:11 AM.

Funny note too is that NY and NJ are opposites with rank.  New Jersey has three silver stars for being 3rd with the Constitution and eleven gold stars with the Confederation.

Virginia Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

The Virginia Heritage 1st State of the United States of Flag is based upon the official American Flag.  However, there is a single golden star.  The single gold stars represents Virginia as the first official state to ratify the first government of the USA: The Articles of Confederation on December 16, 1777.  A generation later, Virginia became the 10th state within the framework of the US Constitution.

The flag above is a combined rank flag that reflects Virginia as the first state of the USA under the Articles of Confederation and tenth state under the reboot, the US Constitution.   

Consequently the hour of Virginia begins at 1:10 AM.  So it is, that Virginia was there at the beginning.  The dawn of each new day at 1:10 am say a prayer for Virginia.

Virginia 10th State US Constitution Heritage Flag

Another heritage flag for Virginia is its US Constitution Heritage flag.  In this flag there are 10 stars in the canton that represent Virginia's place as the 10th state to accept the US Constitution on June 25, 1788.

Most people recognize Virginia as the 10th State.  Yet, Virginia was the 1st State of the Union during the American Revolution.
