Illinois’ state flag, adopted in 1969, prominently displays the state seal, which features a bald eagle clutching a shield and a banner that reads “State Sovereignty, National Union.” The eagle symbolizes Illinois' loyalty to the Union during the Civil War, while the shield represents the state’s agricultural and industrial roots.
