Kentucky Flag Satin Ribbon

In the early history of the state there were many flags representing various affiliations or countries that people came from and settle in the area.[1] A portion of the state was held by the French monarchy until the French and Indian War. After the war, the land was ceded to Great Britain and the Union Jack flew over the commonwealth until the Revolutionary War. After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Kentucky, as a part of the Commonwealth of Virginia, flew the flag of Virginia. As the war progressed, Louisville and Lexington adopted the "Betsy Ross flag". The rest of the state followed. After the war ended, the Flag of Virginia was restored for a short period.
