(French Alliance Black/White Cockade) |
| History of Cockades:
In the 18th century, it was pinned on the side of a man's tricorne
or cocked hat, or on his lapel. Women could also wear it on their
hat or in their hair. A cockade uses distinctive colors to show
the allegiance of its wearer to some political faction, their
rank, or as part of a servant's livery. During the American Revolution,
the Continental Army initially wore cockades of various colors
as an ad hoc form of rank insignia; before long they all reverted
to wearing the black cockade they inherited from the British.
Later, when France became an ally of the United States, the Continental
Army pinned the white cockade of the French Ancien Régime
onto their old black cockade; the French reciprocally pinned the
black cockade onto their white cockade, as a mark of the French-American
alliance. The black-and-white cockade thus bacame known as the
"Union or Alliance Cockade". |
