Mississippi State Flag MS
The 20th state, admitted 1817

This Mississippi MS state flag was designed by a committee led by General W.T. Martin.   It shows Mississippi's divided sense of loyalty between those who revered the Confederacy with Mississippi state's succession from the Union during the Civil War and those who celebrate their rejoining to the United States.  The Battle Flag of the Confederacy is in the upper left corner, the 13 stars representing the first 13 states of the Union.   The bars of red, white and blue honor the Unites States flag.  Mississippi State Flag Adopted:  1894
