Things That Make You Go Hmmm... Texas vs. Chile
I've known this for a long time, but just in case none of my fellow Texans knew...
We not only stole the flag design from Chile, we stole their damn motto too. LMAO.
In order for Texas to differinteate itself from Chile, they made their star bigger and the blue extend from top to bottom on the left hand side.
As for the motto, Chile's "La Estrella Solitaria", is "The Lone Star" in English.
And we are????
The Lone Star State - go figure.

Yes but our state is actually shaped like a star! Lol
^uhm, no
LOL, Carmela really?
Yes really, closer to a star than Chile
neither Texas nor Chile look anything like a star
When Texas was part of Mexico it was part of the state of Coahuila y Tejas and that flag had 2 stars on it. When Texas gained its independence in 1836 it retained the same flag minus a star representing the split from mexico giving it the nickname, 'Lone Star State'! So that's a bit of history on how that came about.
LOL, regardless of history - it doesn't discount the fact that Chile was around before "Tejas" and we stole their design, and their motto The Lone Star. I mean c'mon, these new Texans should have gone with a different idea. LOL.
The thing is, back then, I really don't think Texans knew much about Chile. The world was a much bigger place then than it is now. I'm just glad I live here in the Lone Star State!!
That's for sure, I'd freeze in the northern states. lol
