symmetry is justice

I will forever hold the opinion that the first American flag was the best one. Newer iterations are too cluttered with stars, complete eyesore. I'm willing to admit though that the symbolism in the Betsy Ross is a tad retarded

Fucking kek

For a year after the war started, we weren’t actually seeking independence, only greater autonomy, and tried to declare our loyalty to the British crown with the Olive Branch petition, which was rejected.

for me, it's the uniformity of the empire and its dominions and colonies. especially like india with the star, i think it was technically the governor-general's flag though
