Lincoln pushed Nevada through to statehood on October 31st, 1864, during the Civil War, and just 8 days before the November election. While the 36th star wasn’t officially added until July 4th of the following year, some flag-makers would have begun adding the 36th star as early as July of 1864, several months before the addition of the state actually occurred, and almost would have added it after Nevada was in. Hoping for flag makers to bring new star count to market before their competitors.
