RARE SOUTHERN PROTO-CONFEDERATE "INCLUSIONARY" SEVEN-STAR PARADE FLAG WITH OVERPRINT, glazed muslin, the blue canton featuring seven five-pointed stars arranged in a wreath pattern, 13 red-and-white stripes to fly. An overprint on the fly reads "Parker Academy / May 30th 1880". Housed under glass in a chip-carved Victorian frame. 1860-1861, with dated 1880 overprint. 3 3/4" x 2 1/4" object, 12 3/4" x 11 3/4" OA.
Catalogue Note: The Parker Academy, near New Richmond, Ohio, was founded in 1839 by David and Priscilla Parker who were ardent abolitionists. The school was very liberal for its time and accepted students of both genders, any religion, and of all races, including several of the first students being runaway enslaved individuals.
The date of May 30th, 1880 probably relates to a memorial "Decoration" Day event or parade.
While, what seems to be, a Confederate-sympathetic flag and an abolitionist school are seemingly at odds with one another, it may open the conversation for a more-complex understanding of the cultural psyche of post-war Western Ohio. The consigner provided a note from Dr. Sharyn Jones, who is currently heading archeological efforts at the Parker Academy site, which, in part, reads as follows "The Civil War produced some complex situations that are rarely recognized and accounted for these days. The Parker Academy helps us understand daily lived experiences and how at least one group of people and extended family responded to the war and cultural shifts in the late 1800s".
