3rd Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the 3rd Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment

This 3′×5′ reproduction flag represents the 3rd Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment, a distinguished Union unit that served in the Western Theater during the American Civil War. Organized in Worcester in 1863, the regiment fought with honor across Louisiana and Virginia, carrying its proud blue banner adorned with the Massachusetts state coat of arms surrounded by thirty-four gold stars. Along the fly edge, the flag commemorates notable engagements, including Irish Bend, Port Hudson, Yellow Bayou, and Fisher’s Hill.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

Every detail of the flag embodies the regiment’s courage and Massachusetts heritage. The deep blue field and gold lettering carry the state motto, “Ense Petit Placidam Sub Libertate Quietem,” meaning “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty.” The central seal shows a Native American warrior beneath a silver star, symbolizing vigilance and honor. Behind the shield, a raised arm with sword reinforces the Commonwealth’s readiness to defend freedom—an enduring tribute to those who rode under its colors.
