Wendell Phillips: “Under the Flag”

( 1861 ) Commentary by James Brewer Stewart, Macalester College
  • “Years hence, when the smoke of this conflict clears away, the world will see under our banner all tongues, all creeds, all races,—one brotherhood,—and on the banks of the Potomac, the Genius of Liberty, robed in light, four and thirty stars for her diadem, broken chains under feet, and an olive-branch in her right hand.” - “Under the Flag”
