2nd Maryland Infantry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring Maryland’s Confederate Volunteers

The 2nd Maryland Infantry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag pays tribute to a proud unit of Marylanders who served with distinction in the Confederate Army. Originally organized in 1862, the regiment drew its ranks from Maryland citizens sympathetic to the Southern cause. These volunteers joined the Army of Northern Virginia and fought in many key campaigns, including Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Petersburg. This historically inspired reproduction captures the flag that symbolized their determination and state pride.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This flag features the Maryland state coat of arms centered on a deep blue field. The design displays a shield divided into the black-and-gold Calvert and red-and-white Crossland quadrants, symbolizing the heritage of the Calvert and Crossland families—founders of the Maryland colony. Flanking the shield stand two figures: a farmer and a fisherman, representing Maryland’s people and industry. Above the shield, a bald eagle spreads its wings in strength and sovereignty. Below it, the Latin motto “Crescite et Multiplicamini” (“Increase and Multiply”) emphasizes prosperity and endurance.

Moreover, patriotic scrollwork and red-white bunting enhance the composition, evoking early-war regimental artistry. The balance of state symbolism and Confederate allegiance made this banner a unique expression of Maryland’s divided loyalties during the war.
