Flag History: The “Appeal to Heaven” flag and its variations were flown before and during the American revolution. The Flag's origins began when a group called The Son's of Liberty would rally under a large Pine tree in Boston, Massachusetts, which came to be known as "The Liberty Tree". The phrase “Appeal to Heaven” comes from John Locke's Two Treatises of Government. The phrase connotes that after all other alternatives of seeking justice have been exhausted, only an “appeal to heaven” remains. This flag was flown on George Washington's private squadron of six schooners which he outfitted at his own expense in the fall of 1775. The flag was hoisted first on Washington's ship Hannah on September 2nd, 1775. The Massachusetts General Court established that a flag for the state navy was needed and adopted the "Appeal To Heaven" flag on the 26th of July, 1776 to make it official.
