Tennessee State Flag   The three stars on the flag represent the state's three "Grand Divisions", legally defined social and cultural regions—East Tennessee, most noted for its mountains; Middle Tennessee, a region mostly of rolling hills; and West Tennessee, mostly lowlands. On the flag these regions are bound together in an unbroken circle. The field is crimson with a blue background for the stars. The final blue strip was added strictly as a design consideration, although some have later interpreted it to represent the Mississippi River that borders on Tennessee's western bank.
