![The following year, on April 29, 1776, 21111 the Massachusetts Council established the flag of the state navy with a resolution stating: " ...that
the Colours be a white Flag, with a green Pine Tree, and the Inscription,
'An Appeal to
Heaven!"[]I2][11]
The pine tree flag has been described as one of the most important flags in the colonies during 1775-1776, and the central image of the pine tree stood for wealth and power, in part because the tall trees were so important to the
Royal Navy, as masts for warships.
The flag was a popular regional New England flag and was used to muster troops during the American Revolution before Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes. The flag may have served as partial inspiration for liberty trees and liberty poles. 5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5hwy5afvfhonj6mrpcxm3rfy/bafkreigrgmt7qt7dki5gmxnbfowk5pwswdipm4o77re7sjuinbfa2q3fy4)
