Trivia: The Daughters of the American Revolution designed which state’s flag?
New York
Delaware
Pennsylvania
Illinois
The correct answer is Illinois
So why is this answer correct? : The Daughters of the American Revolution is a patriotic group that was chartered by Congress in 1896; members must be direct descendants of people who aided the U.S. during the Revolutionary War. In 1915, Illinois adopted the group’s design for the state’s flag, which featured various elements from the state seal, including a rock with a rising sun behind it, a shield with stars and stripes, and a bald eagle. The flag was updated in 1970 but retains many original elements.
