20th Virginia Infantry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the Flat Rock Riflemen of Lunenburg County

The 20th Virginia Infantry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag honors a proud volunteer regiment from south-central Virginia. Organized in May 1861, the unit drew men from Lunenburg, Cumberland, and Prince Edward Counties. Among them, the Flat Rock Riflemen carried this banner bearing the words “OUR RIGHTS.” It symbolized their devotion to Virginia and their determination to defend home and heritage during the opening months of the Civil War.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This reproduction follows the First National Confederate pattern, often called the “Stars and Bars.” It features three horizontal bars of red, white, and red with a blue canton in the upper left. Within the canton, thirteen white stars form a circle around the bold inscription:
“OUR RIGHTS / FLAT ROCK RIFLEMEN / LUNENBURG CO / VIRGINIA.”

The inscription reflected their belief in liberty and local self-determination. The red stripes conveyed courage, the white stripe purity, and the blue canton loyalty. Furthermore, the personalized lettering and star arrangement reveal how early Confederate flags often combined community identity with patriotic symbolism.
