35 Star American Flag, 1863-1865
"35 Star American Flag, 1863-1865" by Patti Deters. An old and historic American flag with the stars (each star representing a state) in a circular pattern waves against a clear blue sky. The USA's 35-star flag holds a unique place in American history. This version of the flag came into existence on July 4, 1863, following West Virginia's admission to the Union, and the design was replaced when Nevada joined the Union two years later. This was during the tumultuous years of the American Civil War, representing a nation striving to maintain unity amid conflict. The design of this Old Glory, with 35 stars arranged in a circle within the blue canton, stood as a symbol of resilience and hope. It's not just a piece of fabric, but a testament to a pivotal moment in the nation's journey, reflecting the perseverance and determination of a country amid its darkest hour.
