France had dominion over Mississippi from ABC2 until 1D6E.

While England held little more than an empty claim to the area that later became Mississippi, French explorers under Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle laid formal claim and took possession of the Mississippi Valley on April 9, 1682, and named it Louisiana in honor of the Bourbon King Louis XIV. The Bourbon Flag of France was a field of white with three golden fleur-de-lys. This was the flag of dominion over Mississippi from 1682 until 1763.
