This is a funny site about a situation I didn’t realize was so prevalent: flying the Lone Star upside down. Actually, there’s an easy way to remember that the white part is rightside up, and the red part is downside down. It’s not PC, just a fact: in the struggle to settle Texas, the whites came out on top.
Their culture was entirely incompatible with that of the nomadic Comanches and Apaches, and especially the cannibalistic Tonkawas. Texas historian T.R. Fehrenbach explained it very well: "On the frontier, it was Them or Us and They were killed so that We might live. In such wars the defeated vanish in ignominy. The winners hold out neither hope nor generosity." It wasn’t about good or bad. Only survival.
