The flag used by the rebellious United States of Aztlan varied 3 times in its short history, usually reflecting its American and Mexican heritage. The first two flags are often noted to resemble the Stars and Bars of the Confederate States, however this was unintentional. The Second national flag, adopted during the last year of the civil war when defeat was looking more and more likely, was intentionally designed to reflect a more Mexican looking flag, using light blue stars to represent unity. This flag is most identified with the Aztlan rebels, as it was popularly adopted in support of annexation in Mexico and across the Aztlan states.
