Meaning & history of the Liberia flag

Liberia's flag closely resembles that of the United States, with eleven red and white stripes and a single white star on a blue canton. It reflects the country's founding by freed American slaves in the 19th century. The eleven stripes represent the signatories of the independence declaration, the star Liberia as the first independent republic in Africa, and blue the continent.
