for your information - we were the 48 star on the Flag......

and we won the last battle of the Civil War........

and our longhorns saved the nation.........(hehehe)

Minnie, I do need to clarify one of your claims... Texan forces won the last LAND battle of the War for Southern Idependence when the decisivly overcame the union forces at the Battle of Palmetto Ranch. HOWEVER, the confederate ship, the Shennandoah, was still carrying on the war in the waters around Alaska (disrupting union whaling and fishing efforts by capturing and/or destroying union commercial vessels) for, as I understand it, almost a year after Appomatox.

BTW, we were the 27th Star on the flag. Arizona, I believe was the 48th when it was admitted in 1912.
 
Actually , we are the 28th...just love my tired brain on fact overload.....had to do a college assignment and the brain just fried itself...


but thanks for the correction...I had no clue about the ship....that is coooooool.

Go Southners!!!!!!!!!! although TEXANS do it better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
