It was adopted in 1894 as part of a protest over the emancipation of slaves caused by both the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment.
But as 1894 is so many years after both of those, I'm going to remove it until a source is provided. -- Pmsyyz 00:36, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It's common in history books in the state of Mississippi, any others from Mississippi care to back me up on this one? It wasn't adopted only for this purpose, but it was a large part of the reason. Also remember your history. It took so long to pass the bill due to difficulty in transportation and communication. No phones, no cars, no roads, and most people in Mississippi couldn't afford to take a train. Things simpy moved slower.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.221.102.20 19:47, February 2, 2005 (UTC)
Wow, someone's bias.
Maybe Mississippi just liked the Doctrine Of Nullification and limited government? Maybe they just favored Constitional government? Maybe they were tired of being ripped off by unfair Northern tariffs? Have you ever thought about that? If they wanted to keep their slaves then they would have joined the U.S. again after the Proclamation since it only freed slaves in Confederate territory not U.S. territory, so rejoining the U.S. would let them own slaves like Delaware and New Orleans.
Delaware got to keep slavery until 1904 when the last slave died! Slavery was a dying institution! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.82.9.79 ( talk • contribs) also known as Ken Sublett from Tennessee.
I re-instated the section on the flag referendum that took place in 2001. I think it is notable enough and relevant to be mentioned there. Brusegadi 21:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
I said added that the Mississippi flag is one of two state flags with the confederate flag incorporated. While Georgia's flag no longer has the confederate flag figured prominently, it still is represented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Economics101 ( talk • contribs) 21:05, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
What flag(s) did Mississippi use before Secession? CountMacula ( talk) 20:57, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

The article says the flag is defined with a "broad blue saltire" emblazoned with 13 stars representing the original 13 colonies. Does that mean that if you made a flag with four tiny red triangles at the four edges of the blue square, and put 13 stars in a circle like one of those early colonial US flags, it would still be an official Mississippi flag?

And they had no flag prior to 1861? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.133.127.42 ( talk) 01:30, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
This seems to have received a fair amount of media coverage, mostly local, but also in the New York Times... -- AnonMoos ( talk) 23:24, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

The design of the State flag has been modified officially two times since 1861. Two times? We have a word for this. Aboctok ( talk) 09:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
