Michigan Flags of the Civil War
Flags of Michigan
In politics, they designate the various parties, and have much significance in processions, and other public gatherings, at the same time constituting a very interesting part of the display.
They form a portion of the equipment of all armies and navies, and although in peace they are usually erroneously regarded as merely for display, yet in war they assume an importance and value which can only be fully appreciated by those who follow and fight under them. They often prove a more powerful incentive than the truest valor, and in the smoke and din of battle, when commands are silenced, and tactics and strategy fail, are the guiding stars, often leading armies on to glorious victory.
