DMSE 33 Star Fort Sumter Union Civil War American USA United States Flag 3X5 Ft Foot 100% Polyester 100D Flag UV Resistant (3' X 5' Ft Foot)

This is just exactly what we were looking for.

This a really nice version of the 1861 Fort Sumter-era flag for under $10. Colors are vibrant and correct. It is not one-sided (and don't be fooled plenty of these cheaper flags are made one-sided - buyer beware). When it comes to flags that are $10 or less, it's best to go with those flags made with polyester - and if you're lucky polyester 100D. And this one is. It's not made to be a daily, 365 days a year flag. The sun, wind and other elements will wear on this flag rather quickly which is why I save it up for special holidays or remembrance days.

I am reworking Replica flag narratives from the 1990's that I formerly used to train Flag Presentation Teamsfor youth groups and student councils. This replica matches what US Army Captain Abner Doubleday (yes that Doubleday) hoisted at Fort Sumter after Rebels of the Confederacy fired on the fort, beginning the Civil war. A team presents just enough of the flag that stripes only show, then as the flag is identified, they Snap it open; in this case revealing a star pattern unfamiliar to the audience. As the narrator continues, the intrigued audience absorbs history in a fun way!

Good for 60 days 24/7

You get what you pay for....Colors are dull and muted. Fabric is thin. I doubt it will last one season.

Good Quality Material

I find this deeply offensive-Amazon is selling an American Civil War flag made in China. The criteria for my search was "Civil War flag made in the USA". Additionally, this nylon flag is printed only on one side. I will be returning this Chinese made American Civil War flag.

This flag is only printed on one side. Flimsy thin material. Worst purchase I have made on Amazon.
