Whipping in the winds of Oxford, MS is a flag bearing the 50 stars representing the 50 states in the Union. This brightly colored flag is revered by many around the world.
Up until September 2015, a flag bearing the 13 stars representing the Southern confederate states was flying on the campus of the University of Mississippi.
The Mississippi flag is the only state flag in the United States to bear the flag of Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, or as more commonly known as the confederate flag.
Due to this, the University of Mississippi decided to remove the flag from campus earlier this year.
