On January 9, 1861, cadets from the South Carolina Military Academy, known today as The Citadel, arguably fired the first shots of the Civil War when they prevented a Union merchant ship, the Star of the West, from resupplying Union troops at Fort Sumter. Though it was April before Ft. Sumter was captured, this January incident was the first time shots were exchanged between North and South. South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860, and demanded the immediate withdrawal of the Federal garrison at Fort Sumter. President James Buchanan refused. Inside the fort, Major Robert Anderson and 80 soldiers needed supplies. A supply ship was dispatched, the Star of the West. Two cannon shots roared from a South Carolina battery on Morris Island. They came from gunner George E. Haynsworth, a cadet at The Citadel in Charleston. Theshots, while poor, represented the opening salvo of the war. More shots were fired, and the ship suffered a hit. Above their battery on Morris Island, the cadets flew a red banner with a white palmetto and crescent. The Confederate South Carolina Big Red Flag was used during the Civil War. It had a red background, a palm tree, and a crescent.

Betsy Ross Flag – Historic USA Flag – 13 Star Old USA Flag
Choose Your Size: 12×18 inch 2×3 3×5 4×6 ft Premium Cotton Sewn 13 Star USA Flags
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.”
