Inscription.
Great Britain’s Union Jack was flown over Florida representing the combined kingdoms of England and Scotland.

The Red Cross of St. George, the patron saint of England, and the white Scottish cross of St. Andrew form the Union flag.

The Union Jack was replaced in 1785 with the creation of the official Spanish national flag, which flew over Florida until 1821 when the United States took possession of the territory.
