Interesting. Being a (damn) furriner, *my* first thought was Union as in

ACW - North, before I thought about it.

Interestingly enough, both these flags *and* the confed flag share the 
colors.

Oh, I guess every NAC political group has their pet theory about the 
*real* origin of the colors -- Quebec separatists included (whatever 
their status might be in 2183).
