What state did not join the confederacy but had star on flag?

Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland all had stars on the Confederate flag but never officially joined.


Which star represents Maryland?

Maryland was admitted to the Union April 28, 1788, the seventh State to be admitted. Although the U.S. flag has progressed through several different designs, all with 15 or 13 (13 after 1818) red and white stripes with a blue union--each has had a differing number of stars in different configurations. As Maryland was among the original 13 States, one of the 13 stars on that flag represented Maryland, and Maryland has been represented with a star on each succeeding design of the U.S. flag since that time.


What is the coat of arms for Calvert?

The flag of MARYLAND holds the key to this question....== == The black and gold design on the flag is the coat of arms of the Calvert family. It was granted to George Calvert as a reward for his storming a fortification during a battle (the vertical bars approximate the bars of the palisade). The red and white design is the coat of arms of the Crossland family, the family of Calvert's mother, and features a cross bottony. Since George Calvert's mother was an heiress, he was entitled to use both coats of arms in his banner. The Flag of the State of Maryland consists of the heraldic banner of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore. It is the only state flag in the United States to be based on British heraldry.== ==


What did the stars and stripes mean on the colonial American flag?

The stars on the American flag represent the number of states in the Union. For that reason, the appearance of the American flag has changed many times over the years. The original flag, known as "Old Glory," displayed 13 stars to represent the original 13 states when the nation declared its independence from Great Britain in 1776. Today's flag has 50 stars because there are now 50 states. The last two stars were added in 1959, when Alaska and Hawaii joined the Union, bringing the number of states -- and the number of stars on the flag -- from 48 to the present 50. The flag has not changed since then. The stripes represent the 13 original colonies.
