For nearly a month Washington had rested with the main body of his army on Harlem Heights building fortifications and assessing the movements of the British under the leadership of General Sir William Howe. The British and American forces met in battle at the village of White Plains under General Howe and General George Washington. The 13,000 British and Hessians were ranged against 14,500 Americans although only around 4,000 on each side were actually engaged in the Battle of White plains. The Americans were encamped behind entrenchments just north of the village of White Plains with hills at their rear if a retreat became necessary. 1600 militia from Delaware and Maryland under Colonel Haslett were positioned on Chatterton's hill, on the west side of the Bronx. Howe's soldiers constructed a basic bridge across the Bronx to take the steep Chatterton's Hill. The British were successful in forcing an American retreat from White Plain village. Some of the Americans headed across New Jersey to the southern side of the Delaware River. George Washington sent the other part of his army to secure the Highlands of the Hudson.

They were a bonanza for England in colonial times, as they met a vital military and commercial need for sailing ship masts. Since the colonists were rapidly using up the existing supply of trees close to the ocean that were large enough for masts, the Royal Navy appealed to Parliament. As a result, in 1691 Great Britain imposed the first of the so-called “broad arrow” acts, so named because of the axe mark placed on the reserved trees by the king’s men, that reserved these trees for the English government. Growing resentment to the crown’s appropriation of the choicest White Pines helped precipitate the Revolutionary War, and the first flag of the revolutionary forces even had a White Pine as its emblem.\" - Arborday.org\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pine tree had long been a New England symbol being depicted on the Flag of New England flown by colonial merchant ships dating back to 1686. Leading up to the Revolutionary War it became a symbol of Colonial ire and resistance. The white pine found in New England, specifically the eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) with heights exceeding 150 feet, was highly desirable for constructing masts in shipbuilding. Twenty years after arrival in the new world, the Pilgrims harvested and exported these pines as far as Madagascar. Due to lack of supply of suitable lumber on the island, England reserved 24 inch (61 cm) diameter trees under the Mast Preservation Clause in the Massachusetts Charter in 1691. The trees were identified by a Surveyor of the King’s Woods (a position of preferment) who would in turn appoint deputies to survey and place the broad arrow symbol on the tree from three hatchet slashings denoting property of the Crown. The broad arrow statutes were not immediately enforced, due to England having access to other sources of timber in the Baltic. However, when this source diminished, additional broad arrow policies acts were passed and enforcement increased in North America. The statutes required colonists prior to harvesting trees from their property to have a King's Surveyor mark the larger diameter trees with the broad arrow and then purchase a royal license to harvest the trees not marked with the broad arrow. The colonists resented the strictures on the timber used for their needs and livelihoods. Prohibitions were disregarded and they practiced \"Swamp Law\", where the pines were harvested according to their needs regardless of statutes.[3] In New Hampshire enforcement led to the Pine Tree Riot in 1772, where a statute had been in effect since 1722 protecting 12 inch diameter trees. After being fined and refusing to pay for possessing trees marked with the broad arrow, a New Hampshire mill owner leading other mill owners and townsmen assaulted the Sheriff and his Deputy sent to arrest him by giving him one lash with a tree switch for every tree which the mill owners were fined, cutting the ears, manes, and tails off their horses, and forced them out of town through a jeering crowd. This was one of the first acts of forcful protest against British policies. It occurred almost two years prior to the more well-known Boston Tea Party protest and three years before open hostilities began at the Battles of Lexington and Concord.[4] Months prior to Colonel Reed's suggestion for using the pine, the pine was used on the flag that the Colonists flew at the Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775. The historically accepted flag has a red field with the green pine tree in the upper left corner as depicted in John Trumbull's The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker's Hill, June 17, 1775 painting. Provided Colonel Reed was aware of the Bunker Hill flag, there was precedent to incorporate the pine in another Colonial martial flag. Given the pine tree's significance to the Colonists and since the flag was to fly over Colonial warships, the pine offered an appropriate and ironic symbol due to it flying atop the very structure the British had sought to harvest the white pine for.

The main objectives of the NSZ military units during the occupation were: 1) to protect the population from harm at the hands of the occupants as much as possible 2) to pursue and eliminate the collaborators and criminal elements that were taking advantage of the situation in the occupied country 3) to eradicate communist influences and communist (including Soviet) bands of plunderers tormenting Polish villages 4) to keep morale high in the population in preparation for the time when its determination supported by ZJ’s massive military action would most benefit Poland’s national interests. Gathering intelligence for the Allies was also an important aspect of ZJ activities. The Brigade was formed in August 1944 from some smaller units in the region. At its inception, the Brigade was about 850 personnel. Poorly armed, it was completely dependent on ambushes for arms and the populace for sustenance. The Brigade was organized as two Regiments, with appropriate battalions, companies, and staff. The name of the Brigade was taken from the mountain range near where the unit was formed, just east of the city of Kielce . After forming, the Brigade fought against both the Soviet occupiers and those from Germany, engaging in a dozen battles with only minor losses to themselves. When the red army started their offensive in mid-January 1945, the Brigade was ordered to withdraw to the west, hoping to meet up with the US Army and then to join other Polish forces fighting with the allies. The Brigade marched over 800 km through the dead of winter, crossing the Sudeten Mountains into Czechoslovakia with the eastern front chasing them. Along the way, they still had to fight both the Germans and Russians. They finally wound up southeast of Pilsen, where they liberated a women’s concentration camp (Holysov) and met up with Patton’s Third Army and fought alongside them the last few days of the war. To my knowledge, the Brigade is the only Polish unit to escape Poland. After the war, the Russians tried to have the Brigade, or at least its leadership extradited for anti-communist activities, but were refused by the US commanders on the scene. At least a few of the Brigade members were kidnapped and never heard from again.

It stands prominently among its other 49 sister states - a bright, lone star of independence.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis proud republic did not come by its freedom easily.  Multiple nations laid claim to her or aspired to hold her from the 1500s up through the 1800s and had varying success at times. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe man that ultimately helped foster the reality of a free Texas was named Lorenzo de Zavala, a Mexican national who strongly espoused the idea of a democratic representative government (like that of the fledgling United States at the time) and worked to secure Mexican independence from Spain in 1824. Not many years later, Zavala was instrumental in drafting the Republic of Texas’ constitution and establishing Texas’ independence from Mexico in 1836 after becoming a critic of Santa Anna’s rule of Mexico. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn addition to drafting the constitution for the Republic of Texas, Zavala also designed a flag for the new country.  However, he left no description or record of its design. Subsequent discussion about the flag’s design at Texas’ constitutional convention included multiple additions and variations to Zavala’s unknown design.  In fact, we don’t know with certainty what Zavala created. This is a shame given his historical importance to Texas.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is understood in research circles that what we know today as the Zavala Flag is a romanticized version from a well-intended Texan who was a member of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas in the early 1900s. Even though today’s Zavala Flag may not have come from Zavala directly, what better way to honor the man that did so much to give us the Texas we know today but by crafting a flag after his name?  In fact, the blue field with a lone star and the letters T E X A S arrayed around the points nearly matches part of the flag the Republic of Texas adopted when it became first its own country and later a US state. The Zavala Flag certainly borrows from the Bonnie Blue Flag appearance, long known as a symbol of independence and defiance across the southern states. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith one of our Zavala Flag patches and vinyl decals, you have the opportunity to display your love of the Lone Star State and honor one of its founding citizens with a nod to the crossroads of its unique history. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully Embroidered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weaponized.design\/products\/vinyl-decals\"\u003eVinyl Decals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weaponized.design\/products\/de-zavala-flag-t-shirt\"\u003eCheck out the t-shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Texas 144.1","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":12194794504258,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black","offer_id":39419535622210,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"OD Green","offer_id":39729634836546,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dark Earth","offer_id":12194794537026,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/3841\/7986\/products\/zavala-blue3.jpg?v=1645638497"},{"product_id":"time-is-running-out","title":"Time Is Running Out T-Shirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eT-Shirt version of the Emanuel Wynn Ensign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bella+Canvas 3001 t-shirt feels soft and light, with just the right amount of stretch.

La Bahia. To celebrate the signing, Capt. Phillip Dimmitt’s volunteers made this flag as Nicholas Fagan cut a sycamore pole staff. They raised the flag and as it unfurled for the first time it was immediately pierced with a gunshot from the streets outside the wall. Three months later, Col. James Fannin and approximately 400 Texian volunteers found themselves imprisoned at Goliad after being beaten and captured nine miles away by General Urrea. On the morning of March 27, 1836, the Captured Texians were divided into three groups. Some were told they were going home and some that they were going out to gather firewood. After they were marched outside, Mexican officers gave a signal and they were executed. 342 unarmed men were massacred, their bodies piled up, set ablaze, and left to rot. Col. Fannin and other Texian wounded were then shot inside the walls at Goliad. Fannin’s body was left in a drainage ditch. The 342 Texians laid in piles from March 27 to June 3, 1836.

Before he returned from the Siege and Battle of Bexar to Goliad in the middle of Dec 1835, Captain Dimmitt was an avid Mexican Federalist and opposed to separation which was symbolized in the 1824 Mexican tri-color which is also thought to be of his own design. Dimmitt's bloody arm flag was said to have been raised ceremonially on Dec 20 upon the signing of the Goliad Declaration of Independence as the official flag of the occasion although the banners of companies of Captain William S. Brown and Captain William Scott were also present at Goliad at the time.\u003cbr\u003e---\u003cbr\u003eDimmitt's flag flew over the ramparts of Goliad through 10 Jan 1836 when Dr. James Grant and the Federalist Volunteers of Texas forced its removal with threat of violence and which caused the subsequent exit of Col. Dimmitt and those loyal to him from the garrison. The banner is thought to have exited with them. The motivation behind Dimmitt's use of the bloody arm symbol is unclear as was whether he acquired it independently or simply under influence of the Brown flag, which employed the same symbol.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoven for amazing detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weaponized.design\/products\/vinyl-decals\"\u003eVinyl Decal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCordura\/Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariants marked (Utility) have visual and\/or material imperfections sold at a lower cost.

Here one can read of a Samaritan village that wasn’t receptive to Jesus Christ. James and his brother John asked Jesus for permission to call down fire to consume the village in response to this rejection. This high tempered zeal for righteousness and defense of the Gospel of Jesus Christ earned great respect among early Christian converts. When Christianity was in trouble, it is not a surprise that St. James was a Saint to whom Christians would supplicate for help. In fact, this is how St. James became instrumental in the beliefs of Crusaders and helped propel the image we see today as the St. James cross to notoriety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remains of St. James are believed to be in Compostela, Galicia, in northwest Spain. Galicia was the only Spanish kingdom that was not conquered by the Muslims as they expanded their reach across the Mediterranean Sea. Kings of Galicia paid homage to St. James believing that his burial there protected them from the invading Muslims. The son of King Alfono II, Ramiro I, is thought to have appealed to St. James to bring victory to them at the Battle of Clavijo. This victory helped solidify St. James as the savior of Christianity in the war against the Muslim invaders. Subsequently, The Order of Santiago, an order of knights, was established to protect pilgrims visiting the shrine of St. James. Because The Order of Santiago was not restricted to Spaniards, the concept expanded to other parts of the Christian world and the unique red cross on a white background quickly became the symbol of many nobles, knights and believers who went on to participate in the Crusades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe St. James cross is pointed at the base, shaped like a sword, hearkening to his method of death – decapitation by sword.

For almost 140 years now, the tale of the plucky, practical Philadelphia seamstress has occupied a comfortable niche in the country’s patriotic pantheon alongside the stories of Paul Revere, the Minutemen, and Valley Forge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoss is so beloved and so deeply embedded in the nation’s memory that somehow it seems unpatriotic, if not vaguely treasonous, to cast doubt on her story. The truth, however, is that nobody can prove that Betsy Ross had \u003cbr\u003eanything to do with the first official Stars and Stripes.\u003cbr\u003eMarc Leepson is author of a popular 2005 history of Old Glory, Flag: An American Biography. He said in an interview, “As far as the big question is concerned—Did she make the first American flag?—every historical study has come to the same conclusion. There’s no good historical evidence that she did. But that doesn’t mean she didn’t. There’s simply a lack of documentation. Most historians believe the story is apocryphal.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCongress recognized that the new nation needed a flag. On June 14, 1777, it passed the country’s first flag law. As legislation goes, it was refreshingly brief: “Resolved. That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a twenty-first-century perspective, the Continental Congress’s lack of guidance on the flag’s appearance seems extraordinary. The law said nothing about the flag’s size, shape, or ordering of stripes or the size, type, or arrangement of stars. The legislation implicitly gave flag makers latitude for the creation. So the fledgling United States probably could have used somebody like Betsy Ross to get things organized. The first hint that she did, \u003cbr\u003ehowever, did not surface nationally until almost a century after America declared independence from England. In 1870, her grandson, William Canby, told her story publicly for the first time, delivering a paper titled “The History\u003cbr\u003eof the Flag of the United States” to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Canby, Ross’s involvement with the flag began in 1776, a year before Congress passed its first flag resolution. He wrote:\u003cbr\u003eSitting sewing in her shop one day with her girls around her, several gentlemen entered. She recognized one of these as the uncle of her deceased husband, Col. George Ross, a delegate from Pennsylvania to Congress. She also knew the handsome form and features of the dignified, yet graceful and polite Commander in Chief, who, while he was yet Colonel Washington had visited her shop both professionally and socially many times, (a friendship caused by her connection with the Ross family) they announced themselves as a committee of\u003cbr\u003econgress, and stated that they had been appointed to prepare a flag, and asked her if she thought she could make one, to which she replied, with her usual modesty and self reliance, that “she did not know but she could try; she had never made one but if the pattern were shown to her she had not doubt of her ability to do it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe committee produced a conceptual drawing. Seamstress Ross did not like the design and suggested improvements. Washington agreed with her, grabbed a pencil, and revised the drawing. Canby did not know what these changes were with one exception. The drawing showed six-pointed stars; seamstress Ross reportedly wanted five points. The committee members said they took too much effort. Canby wrote:\u003cbr\u003e“Nothing easier” was her prompt reply and folding a piece of paper in the proper manner, with one clip of her ready scissors she quickly displayed to their astonished vision the five pointed star; which accordingly took its\u003cbr\u003eplace in the national standard. Canby relied on family oral accounts. None of Canby’s sources had witnessed Washington’s visit or his \u003cbr\u003egrandmother making the flag. Instead, all said they had heard her tell the story many times. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.history.org\/foundation\/journal\/summer08\/betsy.cfm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e- History.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\"x~1.75\" \u003cstrong\u003e(3.5x2\" Vintage II )\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoven for amazing detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Texas 144.1","offers":[{"title":"Vintage II \/ Reverse","offer_id":43745112293442,"sku":null,"price":7.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vintage II","offer_id":41535405785154,"sku":"","price":7.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Subdued II","offer_id":42207582978114,"sku":"","price":7.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard","offer_id":40505645105218,"sku":"","price":7.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard \/ Reverse Orientation","offer_id":40505645269058,"sku":"","price":7.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vintage","offer_id":40334457339970,"sku":"","price":7.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Subdued","offer_id":40334457372738,"sku":"","price":7.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/3841\/7986\/files\/betsy-ross2-reverse.jpg?v=1778783213"},{"product_id":"bennington-flag","title":"The Bennington Flag","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a flag’s origin can’t be proven, does it take away from what it means to us today?

Thanks to a very famous midnight ride by a certain Boston silversmith, the militia of Concord and Lexington had been alerted to the impending arrival of the regulars. The first shots of the American Revolution were fired at Lexington in the early morning. The British troops then advanced on Concord only to be repulsed by the Minutemen. By the time the Manchester Company reached Medford, 12 miles east of Concord, the British had already retreated.

The voluntary association had been established in 1747 by Benjamin Franklin, and also fought in the French and Indian War. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003cbr data-darkosha-id=\"1:59\"\u003e Proctor's flag was created to represent Colonel John Proctor's 'Independent Battalion, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania'.  The flag of Col. John Proctor's battalion is actually two flags in one.  First and foremost, it is a British flag known as a \"red ensign.\" Flown over British naval ships and fortifications, it would have been a common sight throughout British North America.  The ground is red silk, while the upper right quarter is occupied by the Union Flag, or Union Jack.  On top of this British flag is painted, somewhat defiantly, a rattlesnake with the motto \"DONT.

ME.\"  Snakes had been a symbol of the colonies since at least 1754, when Benjamin Franklin used one to make the case for the Albany Plan of Union, which warned the colonies to \"Join, [against the French] or Die.\" For the people of Western Pennsylvania, the native rattlesnake was particularly significant and noted that the rattlesnake \"never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders.  She is, therefore, an emblem of magnanimity and true courage.\" The symbol served, just as the Hanna's Town Resolves, as a warning to would-be tyrants in Parliament and the Ministry not to tread on the rights of their fellow British subjects in America.  Unlike the rattlesnake on other early flags, the snake on the Proctor flag faces right toward the symbol of the British Empire.  The snake's thirteen rattles signify the American colonies.  Above the snake is the monogram of John Proctor and the letters, \"I.B.W.C.P.\" for Independent Battalion, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-darkosha-id=\"1:60\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci data-darkosha-id=\"1:61\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cu data-darkosha-id=\"1:62\"\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003csub data-darkosha-id=\"1:63\"\u003e\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003csup data-darkosha-id=\"1:64\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\" data-darkosha-id=\"1:65\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003ePhoto Courtesy: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.heinzhistorycenter.org\/blog\/fort-pitt-museum\/dont-tread-on-me\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Fort Pitt Museum (Click for more pictures)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.heinzhistorycenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/flag-1.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-darkosha-id=\"1:55\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003eWoven\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003eHook Backing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003e3x2 3\/8\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-darkosha-id=\"1:56\"\u003eRe-release: 08\/13\/2020\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Texas 144.1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31656638840898,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/3841\/7986\/products\/proctor-2.jpg?v=1597347142"},{"product_id":"washingtons-position","title":"Washington's Standard","description":"\u003cdiv data-setdir=\"false\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe word ‘standard’ in the 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecentury meant what we today generally refer to as a flag.

In the most popular account, George Washington personally paid a visit to Betsy Ross and asked he to sew the first American flag from a design penned by his own hand. Although Ross did indeed manufacture a number of early American flag, historians believe that her role in creating the \"first\" American flag is more legend than reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe historical evidence actually points to a New Jersey resident name Francis Hopkinson as the true originator of the American flag. Born in Philadelphia in 1737, Hopkinson moved to Bordentown following his marriage to a local woman named Anne Borden. He went on to serve as a delegate to the Continental Congress and become one of the five New Jerseyans to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Hopkinson also distinguished himself as a talented artist with a particular interest in heraldry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to letters housed in the National Archives, Hopkinson design the American flag during the Revolutionary War while serving with the Continental Navy Board. In a series of letters written in 1780, Hopkinson asserted that he has design \"the flag of the United States of America\" and requested payment for his contribution. After a lengthy deliberation, Congress declined to pay for his services on the grounds that he was a civil servant at the time, and others were involved, however they did not deny his role in the flag's design. The archival evidence is bolstered by the fast that Hopkinson worked for the Navy during the time period that most historians believe that the American flag was derived from a Navy flag, or ensign. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause no actual flags or sketches have survived, the exact appearance of the Hopkinson remains unknown. It likely consisted of a field of thirteen alternating red and white stars arranged in a \"staggered\" pattern - an arrangement forming the outline of the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew that appear on the British flag. The stars on the flag are believed to have been six-pointed. Similar six-pointed stars can be found on other documents connected to Hopkinson, including his proposed design for the Great Seal of the United States. Hopkinson's use of the red and white stripes came from a similar design found on his family crest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmazingly, the basic design elements - stars and stripes - that Francis Hopkinson created are still found in today's American flag - a testament to the legacy of a New Jersey patriot whose achievement has largely been obscured by lore and legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/revolutionarynj.org\/hopkinsons-stars-stripes\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more @ New Jersey - Crossroads of the American Revolution\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x1.8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/20\/2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Texas 144.1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32209121902658,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/3841\/7986\/products\/hopkinson-flag.jpg?v=1592685588"},{"product_id":"mercer-flag","title":"Fort Mercer Flag","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ydp2a86700MsoNormal\"\u003eWaterway superiority was to the Revolutionary War what air superiority is today to our armed forces.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey who control the sky, control the battle against nation-states.
