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.


Does Maryland have a red stripe or a white stripe on American flag?

Maryland does not have a red or white stripe on the American flag; instead, it has its own state flag, which features a design based on the heraldic banner of the Calvert and Crossland families. The American flag consists of 13 horizontal stripes, alternating red and white, with a blue field containing 50 white stars. In the context of the American flag, the red stripes symbolize valor and bravery, while the white stripes represent purity and innocence.


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.== ==
