There are 25 stars in the diamond border of the Arkansas state flag. This represents the fact that Arkansas was the 25th state to join the United States.
This diamond, called the Uncle Sam diamond, was found at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas in 1924 and weighed in at a whopping 40.23 carats. It remains the largest diamond ever found in the United States.
The last four states to secede were Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and Arkansas. The border states were Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware, later joined by the new breakaway state of West Virginia.
In 1863, Kentucky bordered Confederate State Tennessee, as did a small part of Missouri. Missouri had a large border with Confederate Arkansas and Maryland had a small border with Confederate Virginia. West Virginia of course bordered Virginia as well.
The border state of Maryland was a central state in the US Civil War, and had the border state of Delaware on its east, the Union State of Pennsylvania to its north, and the Confederate state of Virginia to its south.
