Historical Context
The 1824 Alamo Flag, also known as the “1824 Tricolor”, was flown by Texian rebels in 1835–1836 to declare loyalty to the Mexican Constitution of 1824 and opposition to Santa Anna’s dictatorship. Its red-white-green stripes mirrored the Mexican national colors but with “1824” boldly centered, symbolizing the fight for federalist rights. Flown at the Alamo siege in 1836, it became an iconic emblem of Texan defiance and the birth of the Republic of Texas.
