The Civil Flag of Peace is a flag that is intended to represent peacetime and freedom.
Today, the flag is used to represent peace and constitutional law.
Every country in the world has both a war flag and a peace flag. The second Secretary of the Treasury, a man named Oliver Wolcott, designed our peacetime flag in 1799. It has flown over Federal Courts, Post Offices, Customs Houses, Treasury Buildings, and similar installations for a total of 22 years since then.
This flag is the Peace Flag, or Civil Flag. It is only to be used during times of peace, or when the country is not under any kind of military operations. The last time our Peace Flag was used, was before the Civil War.
The Civil Flag of Peace is also sometimes called the Stars and Bars flag. It has 13 alternating red and white vertical stripes with blue stars on a white background in the top left corner.
