Video of the Flags flying on the pole in front of the shop. I have 3 ancestors that fought for the Confederacy . I am proud to fly these flags for my ancestors who answered their countries call to arms. The flag that is flying on top is the 3rd National flag of the confederacy .and the second flag is the NC secession flag adopted on June 22, 1861, immediately following the state's secession from the Union on May 20, 1861. The red field of the old flag was replaced by blue in memory of the Bonnie Blue Flag which was used as a symbol of secession during the war.

It bears the dates of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence (May 20, 1775) and of the Halifax Resolves (April 12, 1776), documents that place North Carolina at the forefront of the American independence movement. Both dates also appear on the Great Seal of North Carolina.

  • The Christian Flag should always stay on top above any other flag. The State Flag should always be underneath the Christian Flag. The Constitutional National C.S.A. Flag should be at the bottom. It's all about sovereignty! God Save The South!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • @ConfederatePatriot Then I will always hold NC in great esteem. BTW, I have ancestors from North Carolina on my mother's side, Moores, they were in Charleston, SC too in the colonial period.

  • Amen & Yeehaw!

    As the great General Lee commented on the unwavering courage of the Confederate boys from North Carolina while observing them hold their ground in battle... "It's as if they have Tar on their Heels"

    By the end of the war, the sacrifice of lives from North Carolina totaled just shy of all other Confederate State casualties combined.

    I wish I could give my life for a cause as just and holy as theirs.

  • i wanna get a couple of pictures for this

  • Very nice, love our National Flag up top, and the Old North Flag has beautiful colors and design. I was pleasantly surprised to see the flag being accurately displayed in some scenes of the movie Cold Mountain, if you ever have a chance to watch it. Anyways, I envy your flag pole, buddy!
