Flag Component: The flag features the classic American design, consisting of thirteen alternating red and white horizontal stripes representing the original colonies. In the upper left canton is a blue field populated with 34 white stars arranged in a neat, staggered grid pattern. The surface has a smooth, printed finish that vividly captures these iconic patriotic details.

Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard block character, allowing them to hold it as a standard-bearer or color guard. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in historical dioramas).
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the 34-Star United States Flag, which served as the official national flag from 1861 to 1863. Crucially, this specific iteration of the flag was the one carried and flown by Union troops during the first half of the American Civil War. The 34th star was added to represent the admission of Kansas to the Union just months before the war began. Despite the secession of the Southern states to form the Confederacy, President Abraham Lincoln explicitly ordered that no stars be removed from the flag. Leaving the stars intact served as a powerful political and symbolic statement that the federal government did not recognize the legality of the secession and considered the Union to be permanent and indivisible. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic American Civil War battlefields, mid-19th century military dioramas, or historical block figure displays.
