Georgia Secession Flag – 3×5 ft Cotton Sewn Replica of 1861 GA State Sovereignty Banner

Georgia Secession Flag – 3×5 ft Cotton Sewn Replica of 1861 Sovereignty Banner

Symbol of Georgia’s Break from the Union

This 3×5 ft cotton-sewn Georgia Secession Flag is a faithful reproduction of the historic banner raised in January 1861, when Georgia formally seceded from the Union. The flag — a white field with a bold red lone star — was flown over the U.S. Arsenal in Augusta after it was seized by Georgia State Troops, and also above the state capitol in Milledgeville, then Georgia’s seat of government.

This was one of the earliest flags to represent Georgia’s independence and Southern sovereignty during the secession crisis, making it a powerful symbol of state pride and political history.
