The Gonzales Flag is a historical flag that originated during the early stages of the Texas Revolution in 1835. It features a single star and the words "Come and Take It," symbolizing defiance against Mexican authority. The flag was first raised in the town of Gonzales, Texas, where local settlers resisted the Mexican government's attempt to retrieve a cannon that had been given to them for defense against Native American attacks. The flag has since become an enduring symbol of Texan pride and independence. It represents the spirit of resistance and the fight for self-governance, reflecting the broader themes of the Texas Revolution and the struggle for American independence.
