✒️ Variation of the traditional "Pine Tree Flag" [1] from the American Revolutionary war featuring the phrase "An Appeal to Reason" rather than the traditional "An Appeal to Heaven". The phrase "Appeal to Heaven" is a particular expression of the right of revolution used by British philosopher John Locke in his Second Treatise on Government. The work was published in 1690 and rejected the theory of the divine right of kings. In chapter 14: "And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment. And therefore, though the people cannot be judge, so as to have, by the constitution of that society, any superior power, to determine and give effective sentence in the case; yet they have, by a law antecedent and paramount to all positive laws of men, reserved that ultimate determination to themselves which belongs to all mankind, where there lies no appeal on earth, viz. to judge, whether they have just cause to make their appeal to heaven." This variation of the flag plays on the original design's appeal to a common higher power for society to be ordered "of the people" and the motif of an inverted flag in time of distress. In modern times, the original design has been co-opted by Christian Nationalists, so this absurd inversion attempts to appeal to rational-minded people hoping for to maintain a modern secular society.
