Louisiana State Flag
| A short history of the Louisiana State flag | In 1812, Louisiana
achieved statehood, and the pelican made its first appearance
on the state seal. No other information regarding the original
seal is available. The pelican made a re-appearance on the state
flag in 1861, when the state seceded from the Union. In 1864
Louisiana had rival governors, with the Federal governor using
the word "Union" in his seal, and the Confederate one
employing the word "Justice", both words being taken
from the state motto. By 1902, a new state seal was created and in place of a natural pelican it was decided to use a heraldic one. |
| A short history of Louisiana (The Pelican State) | Prior to 1803 Louisiana was the name of the whole territory drained by the river and its tributaries. In 1682 it was claimed to France, and ceded to Spain in 1763. In 1803 ceded to the USA. Louisiana became a Territory in 1804, and gained statehood on April 30, 1812. It seceded in January 1861, and was re-admitted in July 1868. |
