Another flag flap for you!

A 19th century flag disrupts leadership at an Illinois museum and prompts a state investigation:

"The flag, measuring 7-foot-5 by 6-foot-5 (2.26 meters by 1.96 meters), is known as a 'Grand Luminary” because its 21 stars are arranged in the shape of a star. The museum is confident it represents Illinois’ admission as the 21st state, spokesperson Christopher Wills said."

"Such flags are rare because the design was changed a year later when Alabama and Maine joined the Union."

"But Jeff Bridgman, a respected vexillologist, or flag expert, told The Associated Press its construction and materials indicate the flag was produced decades later, during the Civil War, and is perhaps a Southern exclusionary flag whose stars represent states that remained loyal to the Union."
