The Colors of a Kingdom
At Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site
Flags, also known more poetically as “colors,” are powerful cultural symbols that can represent people, places, and even ideas. In early-modern England and its colonies, flags were flown both on land and at sea, provoking a wide array of emotions from friend and foe alike. Explore the vivid world of vexillology (the study of flags) with a park educator and learn about the colors that would have fluttered in skies across the English empire, including the province of Carolina, during the late 17th century.
