Rhode Island Regiment Rayon Stick Flag

Rhode Island Regiment Rayon Stick Flag

Flown by the Rhode Islanders who fought in the American Revolution, this flag was an important part of the colony’s history.  The Rhode Island flag consists of the White Flag of Commonwealth, with a banner, an anchor, and a star field.  The anchor is a symbol of hope, which is also expressed blatantly on the banner.  The star field, like most American ones, is in the top corner and has a star for each of the Thirteen Colonies.

Saint George Cross Rayon Stick Flag

Saint George Cross Rayon Stick Flag

Available Size: 4×6 in

While Columbus was in Spain seeking backing for an expedition the Cabots were in England on a like mission. They had little success, but when the news of Columbus’ discovery reached King Henry VII his interest quickened and he gave ear to them. More than a year was consumed in fitting out the expedition, and recruiting and training the ship’s crew.  Cabot sailed under the Royal Standard of England, the Red Cross of St. George on a white field, an emblem that was brought home in the year 1275 by King Edward I when, as Prince of Wales, he went on one of the crusades to the Holy Land.  On June 24, 1497, John Cabot planted this flag on the shores of Labrador. Except for the Viking flag, it was the first flown over the mainland of America. The expedition worked down the coast and went back to England. On subsequent voyages the Cabots explored as far south as Florida but effected no settlements.  Under this flag the Constant brought the settlers to Jamestown in 1607. It was one of the flags flown on the Mayflower, which brought the Pilgrim Fathers to Plymouth in 1620.

Star Spangled Banner Rayon Stick Flag

Star Spangled Banner Rayon Stick Flag

Available Size: 4×6 in

When Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the Union, Congress added a stripe and a star to the flag for each of them. This flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes waved over Fort McHenry when the British Navy attacked on the night of September 13, 1814. Francis Scott Key was a hostage on the British Frigate “Surprise”. All night through he watched the gallant defense of Fort McHenry. In the first pale streaks of dawn he saw that the flag still proudly waved over the ramparts and was inspired to write the words of our National Anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner.”  It was this banner under which the American Navy waged a war against the Barbary Pirates and which they hoisted over the fort at Derne, Tripoli, on April 27, 1805, following an assault on that place by American Marines and Bluejackets. It was the flag under which Commodore Perry won the battle of Lake Erie, and General Andrew Jackson the signal victory over the British Regulars under Sir Edward Pakenham at New Orleans.

Taunton Rayon Stick Flag

Taunton Rayon Stick Flag

Available Size: 4×6 in

The first flag to represent any dissention amongst the Colonies, this flag was raised in the town of Taunton, Massachusetts as a symbol of the colonies frustration and unwillingness to be persecuted.  The flag was the first in a series that would warn the British that the Colonies were a force to be reckoned with, and would not accept the any loss of their rights or freedom.  The bold words “Liberty and Union” reflect the original sentiment of the Colonists, which was to be treated as equal citizens of the British Empire, (“No taxation with representation!”) rather then be excluded from it.
