This 34 star flag was popular during the American Civil War

July 4th is also the anniversary of the fall of Vicksburg

Interesting, I was real surprised when I got into CivWar reenacting to find there was no formal canton policy for the US flag back then.  I've seen dozens of variations of the US national then, many that look bizarre to modern eyes.
