Today we celebrate the anniversary of Mississippi's entry into the United States as the 20th state in the Union, signed in 1817, by raising the Mississippi flag and the 20-star flag.
The 20-star flag was the first design change for the United States flag since 1795, and the flag which restored the 13-stripe pattern after the 15-star, 15-stripe flag design. The five stars added stand for Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana and Mississippi.
