First visited by the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1540, the Tennessee area would later be claimed by both France and England as a result of the 1670s and 1680s explorations of Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet, Sieur de la Salle, and James Needham and Gabriel Arthur. Great Britain obtained the area after the French and Indian Wars in 1763.
For years, Tennessee used a different flag. That one was three bands of red, blue and white, which were all slanted. These stripes were at the time intended to represent the three divisions of the state. On that flag there was also a number 16 with the slogan “The Volunteer State.â€
According to the designer of the Tennessee Flag, each symbol had a notable meaning. Firstly the colors on the flag are extremely significant. White, red and blue are the national colors of the US. White is a symbol of purity, blue stands for the patriotism of the people of Tennessee and red stands for the readiness of the people to shed blood during warfare.
The 3 white stars symbolize the 3 disparate forms of land that divide the state. Thus in the east, there are the mighty mountains or the Great Smoky Mountains, with the highlands running in the middle section, while the west is adorned with lowlands. They also denote that Tennessee was the 3rd state to merge with the Union after the 13 original states.
The colours correspond to those in the Stars and Stripes and the Stars and Bars. Tennessee and neighbouring Arkansas are the only states to have red backgrounds for their flags.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Tennessee flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Tennessee flag for the future.
