23rd Corps “Sherman Campaign” Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

Historical Background

The 23rd Corps “Sherman Campaign” Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag commemorates the courage and creativity of the XXIII Corps of the Union Army. Formed in 1863 under the Army of the Ohio, the corps marched under General William T. Sherman during his decisive Atlanta and Carolinas Campaigns. During these campaigns, the men crafted a remarkable Union flag from captured Confederate banners, arranging the stars in the shape of their shield-shaped corps badge. This patriotic design symbolized victory, ingenuity, and unity within Sherman’s advancing forces.
