Flag of Mississippi
The new state flag features a magnolia flower, a symbol of hospitality, surrounded by 20 stars, signifying Mississippi's status as the 20th state in the union, and a gold five-point star to reflect Mississippi's indigenous Native American tribes. Mississippi was the second state to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy during the American Civil War.
