The Secession of South Carolina from the Union on December 20, 1860 began a string of secessions totaling 11 Southern states in all and precipitating the outbreak of war. The War Between the States began in April of 1861 and on July 4th, Kansas was officially admitted to the Union and a new flag was adopted bearing 34 stars. Since there was no official pattern of stars prescribed, various imaginative examples exist, however, this flag was viewed as the standard version.

Our outdoor nylon 34-star Union Civil War flags are crafted using 200-denier Dupont SolarMax nylon. Stripes are sewn, stars are appliqued and the flags are finished with a tough polyester duck header and solid brass grommets.
