the Maine flag is based on the flag Maine used in the revolutionary war
Which is based on the Flag of Acadia - that area of Maine and Maritime Canada.
Interesting history - Cajun (in Louisiana) is a corruption of Canadian -> Acanadian -> A Cajun, as the Cajuns were people who went from Acadia to Louisiana.
