Beschreibung:

glazed muslin, 29.75 x 50". Printed in red, blue and black with canton bearing a spread-winged American eagle surmounted by a ribbon banner bearing Native American , the eagle holding a patriotic shield in its beak an flanked by stands of American flags, at it's feet a ballot box bearing the slogan Twenty-One Years. This device surrounded by a medallion of 22 stars, with four additonal stars in the corners. The fly with thirteen alternating red and white stripes with blue block lettered text on second-fourth white stripe, which reads Native. Americans./Beware Of/Foreign Influence, all the N's are reversed except the first N in Native. The Native America party was founded in 1841 at a state convention in Louisiana. Its general tenets were based on the philosophy that foreigners (and especially Irish Catholics) were anathema to the American existence. Party members adhered to the belief that foreigners should not be allowed to hold any office of public trust in the government, whether federal, state or local. In 1854 the party adopted the policy that even United States citizenhsip should be granted only after an emigrant had lived in this country for 21 years -- thus the symbolism on this flag. A stunning example of the gingoism that pervaded this party Condition: Minor scattered light stains, a few small holes at hoist and one ca 1" hole in canton and 2nd 1" hole in fly, colors a bit muted, still VG+.
