The Flag of Our Union" takes its name from a phrase that was common in nineteenth-century American speech, when "the Union" meant the nation of states held together under one government. Patriotic images with this title typically appeared during periods of national strain, such as the years before and during the Civil War, when the flag served as a shared symbol of loyalty to the whole country. The record does not name the artist or publisher, so the image is best read as an expression of that era's sentiment: the flag as a emblem of national identity, and of the Union itself.
