Under the provisions of the Treaty of Paris of 1763, France ceded its territory east of the Mississippi River to England, and its territory west of the river, along with New Orleans, to Spain. Under this treaty, Spain also ceded Florida to England. Because of the transfer of this territory, Mississippi again came under British control and under the dominion of another flag.
The new colors that were raised at Natchez, Baton Rouge, Mobile, and Pensacola in 1763 was the British Red Ensign that had been adopted by Queen Anne in 1707. The Red Ensign was a field of red with the British union in the canton corner. This was the flag that General Charles Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington at Yorktown in 1781, and the flag of dominion over Mississippi from 1763 until 1783, when America gained its independence from England.
