Even before George Floyd's death, the Confederate flag-raising was a provocative act considering how passionately some people detest the symbol, which was deployed in battle by a regime that defended slavery.

The flag was installed in 2017 by the North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, just off southbound Interstate 95 between Exits 65 and 61.

Flagpole Options: We offer two pole options: Car Flagpole and Parade Flagpole. Our Car Flagpole is crafted from heavy-duty white PVC and is approved for driving speeds up to 70mph. Our Parade Flagpole is designed for slow moving traffic up to 45mph and is available in two different sizes. Both pole styles clip into the car window for a snug and secure fit.

Beyond that, the North Carolina Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans announced just two years ago its intention to place “mega flags” in all 100 counties as part of its Flags Across the Carolinas project.

A giant Confederate battle flag that flew in a privately owned field north of Fayetteville was missing as of Saturday afternoon. For how long is the question.

“The change is a bit perplexing,” the news outlet wrote. “It came just about two months after the group raised a new 20-by-30-foot Confederate flag over I-40 in Hildebran to replace a smaller version of the flag, according to an article by our news partner WSOC-TV.”

At the time, I asked Stone by email about his news release’s claim the flag was placed in plain view of I-95 for “all passers-by to enjoy.”

The flag has been off its 90-foot pole before. A friend of mine who lives out that way says he thinks it is taken down and replaced with a new flag when it becomes worn-looking.

Yes! Tex Visions started exclusively as a bulk and wholesale online store before we also started offering directly to customers. We are very experienced taking car flag bulk orders and the price is discounted depending on the quantity of flags ordered. You will not find a better deal per quality in the industry.

I wouldn’t have thought anything about it, except that recently, other giant rebel flags placed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans also have come down.

Print Options and OrientationChoose between Single-Reverse and Double-Sided flag printing styles and between driver and passenger side orientations.

The difference between the two is the speed rating. Our standard Flagpole is more durably built and can withstand speeds up to 70mph while our Parade Flagpole is designed for slow speeds up to 45mph max. Each can be fitted with our custom car flags.

I emailed to three different addresses for R. Kevin Stone, the state commander of the N.C. division, but had not heard anything as of Friday afternoon.

Dye Sublimation Printing: We print our flags using dye sublimation.

We offer single-reverse and double-sided printing options.

The News Herald in Morganton wrote last week that flags on “either end of Burke County on I-40” were both taken down. Each was replaced with two flags: A U.S. flag and a Christian flag, which is a mostly white flag with a blue section in the upper left corner with a red cross.

We offer different sizes for our Car Lot Flags and our Parade Flags. Each has two size options. Our Car Flag is available only at 18” x 12” size. (w x h)

Upload Template: We recommend this method for customers that have design software on their computer. It involves downloading the artwork template from the product page, adding your design, and reuploading to our website. Every artwork submission is checked by our team of designers before being sent to print.

He sent a news release in 2017 announcing Cumberland County’s mega flag. The flag was raised on April 26, chosen because on that date in 1865, “Charlotte, North Carolina, became the Confederate States of America’s last official capital city,” Stone wrote.

There may have been a time I would question that claim, but with some of the things I’ve seen in this country for the past three years, who knows? There may be more closet rebels among us than any of us thought.

Our custom car flags are printed on our super durable outdoor flag polyester. This lightweight material is tear resistant, has excellent color reproduction, and is designed for extended outdoor use in any climate.  We use it for all our flag products at Tex Visions.

We all know the environment lately has been extremely unfavorable to displays of the Confederacy, which had already been controversial, in the wake of the George Floyd and Black Lives Matter protests. But I am skeptical that members of the Sons have changed their minds.

Need a bulk order? No problem! When you contact us, you reach our fully stocked customer service department at our HQ in Carlisle, PA.

It depends on which flag product you select. Our Car Flag comes with our standard flag pole, which is approved for car speeds up to 70mph. If you select our Parade Flags or Car Lot Flags, the flagpole for those products is approved for speeds up to 45mph for single-reverse and 30mph for double-sided flags.

Double-Sided: This style involves printing two separate pieces of fabric with your custom design and sewing them together a light-blocker in between. Double-sided printing is best if you want to display a different design on each side of the flag.

When you are configuring your car flag product, you have the option to select Prints and Hardware, Prints Only, or Hardware Only.
