Forging a Nation: The Grand Union Flag Poster and the Evolution of American Identity
The Grand Union Flag poster offers a glimpse into the early stages of American nation-building, depicting the first national flag of the United States, also known as the Continental Colors or the Grand Union Flag.
Created in 1775, this flag features the Union Jack in the canton alongside thirteen alternating red and white stripes, symbolizing the unity of the thirteen American colonies.
As a precursor to the Stars and Stripes, the Grand Union Flag represents a transitional period in American history, reflecting the complex blend of colonial identity and burgeoning independence.
This poster serves as a visual link to the nation's formative years, capturing the spirit of hope, determination, and the quest for self-governance that laid the foundation for the United States as a sovereign and united entity.
