National Park Service, Museum Management Program
United States
This banner was displayed in Savannah, Georgia following the secession of South Carolina in December 1860, and represents regional support of that state’s act. The banner was a warning to the federal government that if it tried to coerce South Carolina back into the Union, other states would secede and defend her.
