| | 36 Star Flag
When the Civil War began a suggestion was made to President Lincoln to divide the existing US flag diagonally in half. The idea is that the North would leave the lower portion white and the South would leave the upper portion white. Neither side liked the idea very much. The flag retained the full number of stars and actually added 2 stars in 1861. The flag shown here is the 36 star flag and was used during the last year of the Civil War.
