| [[File:Ensign of New England (St George's Cross).svg.png|125px]] ||The Flag of New England is an unofficial flag, closely associated with the New England region. The flag contains an eastern white pine (Pinus Strobus) in the canton, another symbol of the region. It was first seen in 1634 in Salem, Massachusetts, and has many variations. One variation is believed to have flown at the [[Battle of Bunker Hill]], having a blue background with the cross and the tree.[http://www.revolutionary-war-and-beyond.com/bunker-hill-flag.html]

| [[File:Bennington Flag.png|125px]] ||The ''Bennington Flag'' is associated with the Battle of Bennington, Vermont, on August 16, 1777, but some historians speculate that it may have been created by a veteran of that battle upon the outbreak of the [[War of 1812]] [http://www.cvsflags.com/bennington.cfm#benn], or as a centennial flag in 1876. The flag itself was made to evoke the pride of the ''Spirit of '76'', and for that reason it is one of the few non-rattlesnake flags flown during the current Tea Party Movement.
