Summary
| Description |
English: This confederate flag was flown in Alpine county, California over the house of a secessionist during the American Civil War to show support for the south. Most likely flown before news of an outline of the confederate flag reached the west coast. Featuring seven stars and seven stripes, unlike the stars and bars that had three. The flag was flown in June of 1861.
The flag was described: “Secession Flag.— "We have heard of heard of one Secession flag in Alpine county, as yet displayed. It as flying from a house top at Washington Flat, and Is thus described ; A large star in the center, surrounded by six smaller one and having seven stripes. We are not Secessionists, neither do we sympathize with secession in any degree whatever. Our little flag contains five stars and thirteen stripes." -Sacramento Daily Union, 12 June 1861 -Weekly Butte Record, 22 June 1861 -Times Gazette, 15 June 1861 |
