Dimmitt’s Goliad Battle Flag – Texas 1835 Independence Banner | Severed Arm Dimmitt’s Goliad Flags
Outdoor Sewn Double Nylon Embroidered 3×5 Ft
This flag commemorates the Goliad Battle Flag raised at Goliad, Texas, in late 1835 during the Texas Revolution. Designed by Captain Philip Dimmitt, then commander of the Goliad garrison, it symbolized the shift from support of Mexican Federalism (1824 Constitution) to a firm stance for Texas independence.
The banner depicts a red, severed arm gripping a sword—a powerful, militant emblem reportedly raised on December 20, 1835, in celebration of the Goliad Declaration of Independence. While multiple units flew flags in Goliad, memoirs from participants John James and Nicholas Fagan confirm Dimmitt personally crafted this design from white domestic cloth with a crimson arm and sword at its center.

Used from 1861 to 1863. This flag was first flown over the Montgomery, Alabama, capitol building on March 4, 1861. It was chosen from hundreds of designs submitted to the provisional Confederate Government and then voted on by the Provisional Confederate Congress.
At first, the flag had 7 stars, one for each member of the new Confederacy. Later, more stars were added as new states left the United States to join the Confederacy.
The flag was eventually changed because many people felt it looked too much like the Union flag. Some also believe that on a busy and smoky battlefield, the flag was easily confused with the Union flag, which may have led soldiers to follow the wrong flag during battle.
