Details

The men of Gonzales fired the little cannon at the Mexican troops. And they raised a flag sewn from a woman's wedding dress that showed a lone star, an image of the cannon, and the words "Come and Take It." The slogan was used earlier during the American Revolutionary War in the Province of Georgia.

Also known as the "Come and Take It" flag, the Gonzales flag features a cannon with a star above and the aforementioned wording as the battle itself was initiated when a Mexican official asked Texans to return a cannon they had lent settlers for protection against marauders.
