When the Union troops began to run away in battle, the flag often fell to the ground or was left behind, symbolizing disarray and retreat. In some instances, soldiers would attempt to rescue the flag, recognizing its importance as a rallying point and a symbol of their unity and cause. The loss or abandonment of the flag could demoralize the troops and indicate a significant setback in the battle. Such moments were critical in the narrative of the conflict and the valor of the soldiers involved.
When Union troops began to retreat in the field, their flags, which symbolized their unit and national pride, often fell into disarray or were abandoned. In some cases, the flags were heroically defended by soldiers who risked their lives to prevent the enemy from capturing them, as losing the flag was considered a significant disgrace. The fate of the flag depended on the circumstances of the retreat and the determination of the troops to protect their colors.
