Back in the early days of our great nation, stripes weren't just for fashion; they held a deeper meaning. Military posts flaunted horizontal stripes, while vertical stripes were the choice for civilian establishments. Citizens and merchants got in on the act too, using the Civilian Flag to symbolize their constitutional rights.
This Civil Flag was a striking one, with red and white vertical stripes and blue stars against a white background. It wasn't just about looks; it had some legal muscle too. By the Law of the Flag, those vertical stripes signified Roman civil jurisdiction in federal territories, not military jurisdiction under admiralty law. In 1874, Treasury Secretary William A. Richardson made it official, mandating all customhouses to fly the civil flag.
But, as time marched on, things changed. The Revenue Cutter and Life-Saving Lighthouse Services joined the military, adopting the flag design with their own insignias. The Civil Flag's significance got lost at sea.
By the mid-20th century, the Civil Flag had all but vanished, even from the Coast Guard's fleet. Today, we're left with historical accounts of this emblem. That's why we started crafting these wall flags, phone cases, and other items. They're a piece of history with a vintage twist that history buffs and liberty-lovers can hang up with pride.
