Tennessee Flag Meaning: The three stars stand for the three distinct geographical areas of Tennessee, the lowlands of the west, the highlands of the middle and the mountains of the east. They also represent Tennessee as the third state, after the original 13, to join the Union.
The state flag of Tennessee is prone to be flown upside-down due to its asymmetric star pattern in an otherwise symmetrical design. Even flags flown on state capitol are found to be upside-down. In 1976, the United States Postal Service issued a sheet of stamps with one stamp for each state.
