Flag:
A diamond
on a red field represents the only place in North America
where diamonds have been discovered and mined. The twenty-five
white stars around the diamond mean that Arkansas was the
twenty-fifth state to join the Union. The top of four stars in
the center represents that Arkansas was a member of the
Confederate States during the Civil War. The other three stars
represent Spain, France and the United States, countries that
had earlier ruled the land that includes Arkansas. Flag
