Alternate American Flags

[Beck Reilly]

Everyone (including me) is always posting maps and whatsuch but no one ever posts flags. I thought it might be interesting to hear what people think is the background of these flags. Don't forget that flags, like symbols, usually in some way express the ideals, type of government, etc. of a nation. So, if you'd like to, pick a flag and give me a little background on it...

1. Pennslyanian Alliance. after the failure of the convention in 1789 the Articles disolved and Pennslvania. formed Alliance with the small states surrounding it.

2. Imperial America. following the ARW Washington was offered the Crown of the new Nation, while his first reponse was to refuse, his assosiates point out the danger of splintering, without a strong central figure. So George bowed to the pressure and accepted , The King is Overthown, Hail The King.

3. New Sweden. In 1663 The Swedes manage to defeat the New Amterdamers, ending up with OTL Delmarva, New Jersey & Manhattan-Hudson.

4. Republic of New England. Following the Sucessful Shaw rebellion, NE left the US and formed the New England Republic.

5. US Confederation. After the secession of the NE Republic the remaining states reformed the Continital Uniion.

LoL, you caught me. I wanted to see if anyone would think of that. Also some don't appear to fit with the CSA so I wanted to see where their rejected flags could be accepted. If that makes any sense.

Since Xen had to go and blow the whole game, I'll post some more different ones (and they're not all rejected CSA ones).

The best US flag of all would be just like our current one, except the stars are replaced by a line drawing of the whole world, showing that the whole world is now part of the US

[ConfederateFly]
