1680s: Shots of flags waving, lowering on pole.
United States 1960s: Shots of flags waving and being lowered on a pole, including a British Union Jack and a blue French royal flag bearing gold fleur-de-lis emblems. The footage, likely staged to evoke the colonial era of the 1680s, shows the flags rippling against overcast and clear skies as they are raised or lowered along a metal flagpole.
