Guilford Courthouse Flag Granville County Militia Flags Sewn Outdoor Double Nylon Embroidered 3 x 5 ft.

Guilford Courthouse Flag – Granville County Militia Banner | 3×5 Ft Double Nylon Embroidered (Outdoor/Military Grade)

This flag is a reproduction of the Granville County Militia standard, believed to have been carried by Captain Micajah Bullock at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on March 15, 1781, during the American Revolutionary War.

The battle pitted Major General Nathanael Greene against British General Charles Cornwallis in present-day Greensboro, North Carolina. Though technically a British victory, Cornwallis suffered irreplaceable losses—roughly 25% of his force—leading him to abandon the Carolinas. Seven months later, he surrendered at Yorktown, ending major combat operations in the war.

The flag features an unusual reverse color scheme with red and blue stripes and eight-pointed white stars—making it one of the most distinctive Revolutionary militia banners. The original is housed in the North Carolina Museum of History, and is considered one of the oldest surviving North Carolina militia flags.

“I never saw such fighting since God made me. The Americans fought like demons.” — Cornwallis
