Liberia Flag
The Liberian flag, popularly known as the “Lone Star” banner, is quite similar to the American flag. This resemblance stems from the fact that Liberia was founded by ex-slaves from the United States and the Caribbean.
The flag features similar red and white stripes, as well as a blue square with a white star in the top left corner (canton). On August 24, 1847, it was officially adopted. The Liberian flag is frequently believed to be a member of the Stars and Stripes flag family, and the stars and stripes motif is a tribute to the United States, which assisted in the colonization of the country. The blue square and white star were thought to represent Africa and emancipation from slavery, respectively.
