Question: What do the three white stars on the Tennessee state flag represent?

Answer: The three white stars on the Tennessee state flag represent the three grand divisions of the state: West, Middle, and East. According to LeRoy Reeves of the Third Regiment, Tennessee Infantry, who designed the flag, “They are bound together by the endless circle of the blue field, the symbol being three bound together in one—an indissoluble trinity.“
