The Virginia Flag was officially adopted on 30th April 1861. It is gathered from the Virginia Flag history that the state seal emblazoned on the state flag of Virginia was adopted in the year 1776.
The home state of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other founding fathers, Virginia played an important role in the American Revolution (1775-83). During the Civil War (1861-65), the city of Richmond, Virginia, became the capital of the Confederacy, and more than half of the conflict’s battles were fought in the state.
The remarkable Virginia Flag comprises a deep blue background and the seal of the state is in the center. The seal is white in color and depicts a man and a woman, as well as the state's name and the motto in Latin, "Sic Semper Tyrannis", meaning "thus always to tyrants." A white fringe of silk decks the edge, opposite to the flagstaff side.
The seal on the Virginia State Flag features a woman or to be more specific, the Roman goddess Virtue, who stands for the state of Virginia. She is depicted with a sword in her left hand, a spear in the right and donning the garb of an Amazon. Her left foot is a man lying on the ground. He has a scourge and a broken chain in his hands and his crown is thrown nearby on the ground. The man is Tyranny, a personification of Britain.
In a vote adopting "An Ordinance to repeal the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, by the State of Virginia, and to resume all the rights and powers granted under said Constitution," Virginia declared its sovereignty and opened the way for the Commonwealth to join the Confederate States of America.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Virginia flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Virginia flag for the future.
