Let Us Alone Flag
When Florida first became a state, it adopted a flag with the then-current United States flag in the corner, and five different-colored stripes. In one of the stripes was the motto, "Let Us Alone." It was unveiled at the inaugaration of the first Governor, William D. Moseley. Ultimately, it was approved through resolutions by the House and Senate in the following year.
