Flag of Arkansas

What's the Arkansas Flag symbolize? To find out about something we have to learn the historyof the natural state. Here are some facts about "Flag of Arkansas".

The flag of the U.S. state of Arkansas is a red field charged with a large blue-bordered white diamond. Twenty-nine five-pointed stars appear on the flag: twenty-five small white stars within the blue border, and four larger blue stars in the white diamond. The inscription "ARKANSAS" appears in blue within the white diamond, with one star above and three stars below. The star above and the two outer stars below point upwards; the inner star below points downwards.

The diamond on a red field represents the only place in North America where diamonds have been discovered and mined. Arkansas was a member of the Confederate States during the civil War that was the top of four stars in the center represents with. The other three stars represent Spain, France and the United States, countries that had earlier ruled the land that includes Arkansas.
