USA's delstatsflag

Kort over nuværende flag for USAs 50 delstater, 5 territorier, og hovedstadsdistriktet.

USA's delstatsflag afspejler design og udformning en bred vifte af regional indflydelse og lokal historie for de forskellige delstater.

De nyere delstatsflag stammer fra 1890'erne i forbindelse med delstaternes ønske om at fremvise markante og karakteristiske symboler ved udstillingen World's Columbian Exposition 1893 i Chicago. De fleste delstatsflag blev udformet og taget i brug i perioden fra 1893 til 1. verdenskrig.

Indflydelse på design af delstatsflag

Nogle delstatsflag stammer fra eller hentyder til militærfaner, der blev brugt under uafhængighedskrigen eller borgerkrigen. Andre flag hentyder til Amerikas Konfødererede Stater, for eksempel Georgias flag. Atter andre flag stammer fra delstaternes fortid som selvstændige republikker eller erindrer om koloniherrer. En del flag hentyder til delstaternes segl, eller geografi.

Flag of Vermont (1804-1837).svg
The Vermont state flag—as adopted on 01 May 1804—was a 17 stars-and-stripes U.S. flag with “VERMONT” embroidered along the top. The colours are from the U.S. flag; White, Old Glory Blue (Pantone 281, #002664), and Old Glory Red (Pantone 193, #BB133E).
Note: Vermont expected a change in the U.S. flag from 15 to 17 stars-and-stripes with the addition of Tennessee and Ohio to the Union. (Much as it changed from 13 to 15 stars-and-stripes with the addition of Vermont and Kentucky) The U.S. flag did not actually change until 1818 (20 stars and 13 stripes), and so this Vermont state flag had more stripes than the official U.S. flag.

Flag of Mississippi (1861-1894).svg
Flag of Mississippi January 26, 1861 to circa August 22, 1865. It remained the unofficial flag until 1894, when the current flag was adopted. According to Clay Moss, Mississippi Department of Archives and History, Vexillological Research Volunteer on June 21, 2015 at the Flags of the World website, this flag is likely a post-war flag used by United Confederate Veterans units, as it does not conform to the 1861 language describing adoption of a new secessionist flag: "A Flag of white ground, a Magnolia tree in the centre, a blue field in the upper left hand corner with a white star in the centre, the Flag to be finished with a red border and a red fringe at the extremity of the Flag."
