The shield is centered on a field of blue borrowed from the blue flag that Choctaw soldiers carried during the Civil War. This flag honors more than 60 groups of Native Americans and their ancestors. The shield is decorated with six white crosses (native stars) representing high ideals. Superimposed over the shield are symbols of peace and unity from the cultures of the Native American and European-American settlers in the territory; the calumet or ceremonial peace pipe and the olive branch.”

Yes along with coyotes, wolves, tule elk, pronghorn antelope, great white sharks, whales, sea otters, and many more. Thankfully when it came to many of those, some survived out of the region and have or are starting to come back. A few of them were hunted to near absolute extinction like the sea otters and tule elk, but a tiny community was found still alive, taken into protection and have been rebounding for a century.

Me: Oh everyone is going to get to hear the interesting story behind the California flag. Video: Bear flag revolt, Luka: Aren't there no bears there? Video: Bear is extinct, the star is Texas Video: Moving on... NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! You don't just say "bear flag revolt" and move on! It was a full on war, spurned by US backed insurrectionists. The flag says "California Republic" because they were declaring California as a sovereign state. The insurrection was started by John Fremont, first nominee for president of the Republican Party, governor of two different states, explorer, and Civil War general. It's the California Golden Bear! It's still the mascot for UC Berkeley and UCLA. Yes they were hunted to extinction, along with nearly every other large mammal in the state, some recovered better than others. But the golden bear is just a subspecies of the grizzly and the grizzly could be re-introduced. There's still black bears. Why is the guy so smarmy about the star paying homage to Texas? Texas sought independence, California sought independence.

The star on California's flag represents the Russians who founded the settlements north of San Francisco. There's a reason it's called the Russian River. There's no reason why California would choose the star to represent another state.

British "Guy" reacts... When you get older, to my age, (50). You constantly get reminded how old you are when you hear things on the news such as, "A 21 year old man was found...". I guess the best way to understand how you will see people in their 20's, as a 50 year old, is the same way someone in their 20's views a teenager under 18. Live every single day people. Wake up early, and watch the sunrise!

The funny thing about Tennessee is that the three stars really represent the overall state....people identity being from east, middle or west Tennessee. There are geographical, cultural, political and dialect differences between the three divisions. The state even has two time zones...the east is in eastern time, the middle and west are in central time. People from Tennessee will often state which part they are from, as well.

In the New Hampshire state house, they have the battle flags from the 2nd New Hampshire continental regiment from the Revolutionary War, and one is a pink flag with the Union jack in the corner. Flags were very important in the Civil War and the color bearers would usually lead the charge. The flags were often home made.

I see Cody's point about the state seals many of the flags indistinguishable from a distance, especially all the ones on blue backgrounds, but the seals have meaning, and he might have been a bit lazy in lumping them all together and dismissing them. You certainly are learning a lot about the USA in your reaction videos, and I'm learning a lot with them too!

The Tennessee State Quarter from the US Mint’s 50 State Quarters program also features three stars. However, the quarter adds another element of each of the Grand Divisions in the form on three musical instruments (fiddle, trumpet, and guitar) to symbolize the historic genres of East Tennessee, West Tennessee, and Middle Tennessee (respectively). Actually, reacting to the 50 State Quarters could make a good video.
