"Georgia Beware of Foreign Influence" Flag

This timely piece is inspired by the famed "Know Nothing Party" flag motto of "Native Americans beware of foreign influence". The design incorporates a modern reimagining of the original pattern, with the canton being replaced with the Georgia Temple and state specific motto. 

Also known as the American Party, the group got its nickname because when questioned about it's activities members always responded that they knew nothing. The patriotic group was active in the mid-1800's and pushed for strict rules in regards to citizenship and voting. The flag contains the warning to "Native Americans", those born here, to beware foreign influence due to the influx of immigrants. The canton shows and eagle above a voting box with 21 years written on it. The American Party tried, and failed, to increase the number of years an immigrant had to reside in America before they could vote from 5 to 21 to ensure their loyalty to the United States. The group disbanded around the outbreak of the Civil War, partly due to membership being split between pro and anti-slavery factions while the group remained officially neutral on the issue.

These modern nylon flags are the perfect way to fly historic 19th century colors on your house or in your garden. Flags are printed on one side with a 95% bleed, making the design visible on both sides. For historical flags that had different designs on each side, these are printed on two separate panels that are then sewn together with an internal interfacing. 

These flags are made to order and take about 3 weeks to produce and ship.
