The newly independent "Republic of Louisiana" adopted a state flag by action of the State Convention on 11 February 1861. On that date, the committee, which had been appointed on 4 February 1861 for the task of devising a national flag for Louisiana, composed of John K. Elgee of Rapides Parish (chairman), A. Bienvenu Roman of St. James and St. John the Baptist Parish, and Claiborne C. Briscoe of Madison Parish, proposed an ordinance "to establish a flag for the state of Louisiana" that read:

We, the people of the State of Louisiana in convention assembled, do ordain and establish that the flag of the State of Louisiana shall consist and be composed of thirteen horizontal stripes of the colors hereinafter described, and to be disposed in the following order, commencing from the upper line or edge of the flag, to wit: the first stripe blue; second, white; third, red; fourth, white; fifth, blue; sixth, white; seventh, red; eighth, white; ninth, blue; tenth, white; eleventh, red; twelfth, white; and the thirteenth, or bottom stripe, blue.

We do further ordain and establish that there shall be in the upper or chief corner of the flag, a square field, the color whereof shall be red; and the sides therefore equal to the width of seven stripes, and that in the center of said field there shall be a star of due proportionate size, having five points or rays; and that the color of the said star shall be a pail yellow.

We do further ordain and establish that the said flag, and no other, shall be the national flag of the State of Louisiana.
