Question

Do you know why Texas is called the Lone Star State and why there is just one star in the field of blue on the Texas Flag? AND ... How many stars on the American flag? and who were the last two states added to the union and in what year?

Answer 1

Texas is called the Lone Star because Texas used to be its own country before it fought its independence against Mexico.

That answers both the 1st and 2nd question because the star is alone in the blue because Texas was independent from the US and Mexico.

There are 50 Stars representing how many states.

Hawaii - August 21, 1959
Alaska - January 3, 1959

Answer 2

Texas is called the Lone Star state because of the one star on the flag. Don't know about the part of why there is only one star on the flag! There are 50 stars on the flag to represent each state and the last 2 states are Hawaii and Alaska, don't know when though!

Answer 3

Texas used to be it's own country and it was called the Lone Star Republic which is why when it joined the USA it became the lone star state. That's also why there is just one star on their state flag. There are 50 stars on the USA flag. And the last two states added to the Union were Hawaii and Alaska, but I'm not sure what year it was in. Hope that helps
