Authentic Civil War Artillery Flag (38 x 38 Inches)
This square version of the Confederate Battle Flag mirrors the exact dimensions used by artillery units during the American Civil War — 38 inches by 38 inches. Historically, this format was standard issue for Confederate artillery batteries and also adopted by other units, including cavalry (which used a slightly smaller 30″ x 30″ variation), due to its practical shape for horseback and battlefield maneuverability.

Historical Significance of Confederate Battle Flag – Artillery Flag
Originally adopted by the Confederate States Army in 1861, the battle flag design represented the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee. The square version became symbolic among artillery units — providing battlefield visibility while maintaining proportion on vertical flagpoles or horseback standards.
It stood apart from the official “Stars and Bars” and “Stainless Banner” national flags, eventually becoming one of the most widely recognized symbols used by Confederate forces across multiple fronts during the Civil War.

Betsy Ross Flag – 13 Stars – Standard
During the Revolutionary War our “official” flags were made by several people. In Pennsylvania, Betsy Ross made flags for 50 years, including the Pennsylvania State Navy in 1777. Our earliest records of the popular “Betsy Ross flag,” displaying the stars in a circle, seem to indicate it appeared in the *1790’s. This iconic design has come to symbolize the birth and early years of our nation.
The claims of the Betsy Ross flag were first brought to the attention of the public in 1870, by one of her grandsons, William J. Canby. He gave a talk a meeting of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, during which he stated:
“It is not tradition, it is a report from the lips of the principal participator in the transaction, directly told not to one or two, but a dozen or more living witnesses, of which I, myself, am one, though but a little boy when I heard it…. Colonel Ross, with Robert Morris and General Washington, called on Mrs. Ross and told her they were a committee of Congress, and wanted her to make a flag from the drawing, a rough one, which, upon her suggestions, was redrawn by General Washington in pencil in her back parlor. This was prior to the Declaration of Independence. I fix the date to be during Washington’s visit to Congress from New York in June, 1776 when he came to confer upon the affairs of the Army, the flag being no doubt, one of these affairs.”
