State of North Carolina Secession Flag (1861) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring North Carolina’s 1861 Secession Heritage

The State of North Carolina Secession Flag (1861) – American Civil War Nylon Series commemorates the moment when North Carolina left the Union. Adopted on June 22, 1861, this striking flag became the official state banner during secession. It linked the state’s proud revolutionary past with its Confederate identity. Moreover, the twin dates — May 20, 1775 and May 20, 1861 — reminded citizens of liberty claimed and liberty defended. This 3′×5′ reproduction preserves that history in durable all-weather nylon made for collectors, educators, and reenactors alike.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

The design features a red vertical bar beside two horizontal stripes, blue above white. In the red field stands a single white star encircled by the key dates in gold lettering. May 20, 1775 recalls the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, while May 20, 1861 marks North Carolina’s secession. As a result, the flag unites the spirit of 1775 with the resolve of 1861. Though the design was replaced in 1885, it remains a vivid emblem of the state’s Civil War era.

Proudly Made in the USA

Each flag is FMAA-certified, guaranteeing genuine American workmanship — Flag Manufacturers Association of America (FMAA). Skilled artisans craft every flag from durable all-weather nylon chosen for its bright color, strength, and resistance to fading.
