The full review is pending, meanwhile here’s a quick interesting fact about the California State flag:

The inclusion of “California Republic” on the flag of California reflects a significant historical period known as the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846. During this uprising, American settlers in California, discontent with Mexican rule, declared California an independent republic. The flag they raised, featuring a grizzly bear and a red star, came to symbolize this brief period of autonomy. Although the revolt was short-lived, lasting only a few weeks before California became part of the United States, the phrase “California Republic” on the flag serves as a reminder of the state’s rebellious and independent spirit during its formative years.
