Civil War Flags FULL

Civil War flags were the most recognizable symbols of the ideals for which each side fought. Often, women hand-stitchedbanners and presented them to the men going off to war. Regiments carried flags and banners into battle as a representationof who they were and what they believedin. In 1951, Milton Devinney and his
 mother donated his great  grandfather’s souvenirs from the Civil War—records, letters,  photographs and a flag—to the  State Archives of Michigan.Civil War flags were important to soldiers who  fought in the war—they represented home as  well as the fight for the Union. After the war,  these flags symbolized the sacrifice of war.
