State of Georgia Flag Variant (1861–1865) – Militia & Government Seal Edition – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

---

A Ceremonial Banner of Georgia’s Civil War Government

The State of Georgia Flag Variant (1861–1865) – Militia & Government Seal Edition – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag represents one of the most distinctive and ceremonial designs flown during the Civil War. While the red-field flag bearing “Constitution, Justice, Wisdom, Moderation” served as the state’s official flag, this version appeared on government buildings and militia banners between 1861 and 1865.

It was used mainly for ceremonial display rather than battlefield service, symbolizing Georgia’s civic identity and independence as a founding member of the Confederate States of America. Moreover, it beautifully reflects the artistry of the Great Seal of Georgia as interpreted through the patriotic lens of the Civil War period.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This 3′×5′ reproduction presents a deep navy-blue field with a golden sun disc illuminating Georgia’s Great Seal. At its center, an arch supported by three pillars stands for Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation, the virtues guiding Georgia’s government since its founding.

A red scroll encircles the columns with the same three virtues boldly inscribed, while seven white stars form an arc overhead—signifying Georgia’s place among the first seven states to secede from the Union. In addition, a citizen-soldier stands guard beside the arch, sword in hand, representing the defense of the Constitution and state sovereignty.

Each element of this flag tells a story of courage, governance, and loyalty. As a result, it remains one of the most dignified emblems of Georgia’s wartime heritage.
