Louisiana, CSA/USA, 1861-1912Prior to 1861, the state of Louisiana had no official flag. In January 1861, after seceding from the United States but before the formation of the Confederate States of America, Louisiana unofficially used a flag based on the flag of France.In February 1861, Louisiana officially adopted a flag with a single yellow star in a red canton, reminding of the colours of the Spanish flag, and with thirteen red, white and blue stripes, the colours of the French flag.This was used through the end of the American Civil War, though the Pelican flag and Flag of January 1861 remained in use unofficially. In 1912 this flag was eventually replaced by a new version of the Pelican flag. -- source link
