No prior flags?

Does anybody else have trouble accepting the idea that for its first 77 years of statehood, even throughout the Civil War when its regiments were marching into bloody battles, Arkansas had no flag? IfYouDoIfYouDon't (talk) 11:32, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Units had flags and most of the time it was a blue flag, with a white border, with the information in the center. As a resident of the State (and author of the 2011 legislation about the state flag), there is still a lot of mystery to this flag. I do hope to shed light on this issue for you, but from what I seen from documents in the 1870's, nothing. The closest thing I found to a flag in the 1870's was something used in an ad hoc fashion by the state. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:46, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

But also a lot of states had the same issues too; if you look at this 1917 book by Preble, you can see a lot of states did not have flags or they just used flags that were military banners. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 05:09, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Confederate symbolism

This flag is plainly based on the Confederate war flag; the “starry x” flag. The X has been cut in half, and the two pieces flipped to form a diamond. Is there any contemporary discussion of this? 2A00:23C7:E284:CF00:2956:8673:454C:742E (talk) 00:02, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
