South Carolina Pee Dee Light Artillery Flag (1861) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the Valor of the Pee Dee Light Artillery

Formed in early 1861, the Pee Dee Light Artillery was among South Carolina’s first Confederate batteries. Commanded by Captain Edmund Rhett and later Captain Warley, the unit drew volunteers from the Pee Dee region. This 3’x3′ reproduction flag represents their banner carried during early service, including the First Battle of Manassas on July 21, 1861. The defiant motto, “Under This Standard We Will Conquer,” captured the determination and faith of South Carolina’s volunteer gunners as they entered the war.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This flag’s design proudly reflects South Carolina’s colonial and Revolutionary-era identity. A deep blue field forms the background, adorned with a gold crescent and gold palmetto tree—the state’s historic emblems of independence and resilience. Below the palmetto, the date “July 21, 1861” honors the Confederate victory at Manassas, where the Pee Dee Light Artillery served with distinction. Surrounding the central design, the bold inscription “Under This Standard We Will Conquer” conveys the spirit and resolve that defined the early Confederate forces.
