Come and Take It Flag - Symbol of Texan Defiance and Independence #62561 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white flag depicts a cannon barrel beneath a five-pointed star, with the defiant phrase “COME AND TAKE IT” boldly inscribed below. It was first raised by Texian settlers during the Battle of Gonzales in October 1835, marking the opening clash of the Texas Revolution. The design echoes the spirit of resistance against Mexican authority and remains a powerful symbol of Texan independence and self-determination.
