Virginia voted for secession in May of 1861. Shortly thereafter, General Irvin McDowell crossed the Potomac River and occupied Arlington House, the former home of Robert E. Lee. By 1864, Union dead filled the existing military cemeteries. Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War, ordered General Montgomery Meigs to find land for another cemetery. He chose the 1,100 acre estate now known as Arlington National Cemetery.

The Liberty Boys, or the Sons of Liberty, we the political vanguard of the American Revolution. Their flag, one of the first truly American standards, was comprised of nine alternating white and red lines, representing the number of colonies that were to attend the Stamp Act Congress. The Liberty Boys kept their identities secret – sometimes even keeping involvement from their families – as the British Crown could draw and quarter you for resistance .
It's doubtless, then, that under these conditions that the Sons of Liberty created neatly sewn flags. More likely, the symbols of the resistance were often haphazardly splashed on sheets, walls, and clothing.
