Mississippi
Shown is the state flag of Mississippi, part of a pane of stamps showing the flags of each of the 50 states.
The flag of the State of Mississippi was adopted by the U.S. state of Mississippi in 1894, replacing the flag that had been adopted in 1861. It is the sole remaining U.S. state flag that bears the Confederate battle flag's saltire, after Georgia adopted a new flag in 2001.
