Why is there a Union Jack in the flag of Hawaii?
Two things:- (1) the flag of the United Kingdom is the Union Flag – it is only the Union Jack when flown at sea… (2) See Wikipedia… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Haw… Flag of Hawaii From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ka Hae Hawaiʻi, or the Flag of Hawaii The flag of Hawaii (Hawaiian: Ka Hae Hawaiʻi) is the official standard symbolizing Hawaii as a U.S. state, as it previously had as a kingdom, protectorate, republic, and territory. It is the only state flag of the United States to have been flown under so many various forms of government and the only to feature the Union Flag of the United Kingdom, a relic of the period Hawaii considered itself a British protectorate (1794–1843). I hope that this answers your question to your satisfaction..
