Flag of the Republic of the Rio Grande

Republic of the Rio Grande
Adopted1840
Relinquished1840
DesignOne-third of the hoist is blue containing three white stars. The remaining field is divided horizontally into three bars: white on top, red in the middle, and black on the bottom.

The flag of the Republic of the Rio Grande was used in 1840, during 283 days from January 17 to November 6, as long as the republic existed. This country was formed by the northeastern Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. The flag was no longer used following the defeat of the Republic of the Rio Grande by Mexican troops.

Design

This sketch from 1840 was created by a Centralist spy in the Federalist army camp of José M. J. Carbajal[1]

The flag of the Republic of the Rio Grande has a blue hoist with three white stars run evenly along the hoist.[2][1][3][4] The three stars represent the three states that seceded: Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas.[5][6] The fly is split into three bands, one white, one red, and one black.[2][1][3][4]

There are other suggested designs for the flag as noted by historians, including tricolors of (a) red, white, and black; (b) red, white, and blue; and (c) red, white, and green.[7]

Historians have noted that, whatever the flag looked like, it bore similarities to the 1839 flag of the Republic of Texas and the 1841 flag of the later Republic of Yucatán.[7]

The city of Laredo, Texas uses the black stripe variant of this flag as its city flag,[8] while also incorporating it and the six flags over the rest of Texas on its city coat of arms.[9] Laredo had served as the capital of the brief republic.[10] The city of Weslaco, Texas uses the black stripe variant on display with the aformentioned six flags of Texas in their city museum.[citation needed]

Por otra parte, se ha aducido el separatismo del noreste por el hecho de que entre sus filas se portara una bandera que, dividida en una franja vertical y tres horizontales, representaba a los tres estados orientales, pues en la vertical también incluía tres estrellas. El color de la franja vertical era azul, y el de las horizontales eran plateado (o blanco), rojo y negro. Mariano Arista supo de la existencia de esta bandera por los informes que le rindió un espía, quien adernás la dibuío en un anexo, y así lo remitió Arista al ministro de Guerra a principios de septiembre de 1840." Translation: "On the other hand, the separatism of the northeast has been adduced due to the fact that a flag was carried among its ranks that, divided into a vertical stripe and three horizontal ones, represented the three eastern states, since the vertical one also included three stars. The color of the vertical stripe was blue, and that of the horizontal ones were silver (or white), red and black. Mariano Arista found out about the existence of this flag from reports given to him by a spy, who also drew it in an appendix, and Arista sent it to the Minister of War at the beginning of September 1840.

La bandera estaba dividida en cuatro partes: una azul en sentido vertical con tres estrellas blancas; luego, del azul se desprendían tres colores en forma horizontal: negra la de abajo, roja la del centro y blanca la de arriba. Por sus características, es posible que se trate de la llamada bandera de la República de Río Grande, en la cual se comprendían los estados de Texas, Coahuila y Tamaulipas...." Translation: "The flag was divided into four parts: one vertical blue with three white stars; then, from the blue, three colors detached horizontally: the bottom black, the center red, and the top white.

University of Houston. pp. 145–146, 145n163. A flag flown by J. M. J. Carvajal on his campsite near the Nueces River after Zapata and Canales' defeat in Morelos is shown in Figure 5-1. This flag contains three horizontal bands of white, red and black with a blue vertical band on the left side containing three white stars in the blue field. One could conjecture that the three bands and the three stars symbolize the three Mexican states mentioned above. Furthermore, it would be reasonable to assume that this flag design was the same used prior to the Federalist defeat in Morelos.

Con respecto a esta bandera, existen a lo menos tres versiones que no se diferencian mucho; la más popular la declara tricolor (rojo, blanco y negro), las estrellas están sobre un campo rojo; la segunda versión la aproxima a la bandera texana y la declara tricolor, pero: rojo, blanco y azul, en esta versión las estrellas también sobre un campo rojo; y la tercera versión popular la declara tricolor: verde, blanco y rojo, aproximándola a la bandera de México y de algún modo a la bandera de la República del Yucatán (la que sin embargo aún no existía, pues Yucatán aún no se había independizado)."
