I think the change happened mostly during the first and second world wars.
Not quite the same thing, but another interesting data point - Vicksburg capitulated on July 4th, 1863. The next time the city formally celebrated the 4th of July was in 1945.

In the Civil War, the Union flew the the Stars and Stripes while the confederates flew the Stars and Bars.
They did, but not the Stars and Bars you see today.

Do remember, a citizen has less rights in 2020 than in 1861...
Which part of 1861, and do you consider slave a citizen?
Slaves weren't citizens in 1861, but you knew that. So did Lincoln, who would have gladly shipped them back to Africa.

Yeah, so you definitely know you were excluding slaves when you wrote that post.
Now let’s consider the women ... do you consider a woman a citizen in 1861?

Yes.
Then, quite simply, you think wrong and your world view is wrong.
Male citizens may have had more rights in 1861, but humans in general, once you include slaves and women, on the whole did not have more rights in 1861. If you have to exclude slaves and women to make a statement on rights, that statement means little. -
