The
Taunton Flag
The Taunton Flag was one of the earliest of the colonial flags,
first raised in 1774 at Taunton, Massachusetts. It was simply
the Queen Anne Flag with the words, "Liberty and Union"
sewn onto the red field. The Boston Evening Post reported
the incident and the idea caught on. Flags with identical or similar
mottos began to appear throughout the colonies soon after. |
