American Flag
The United States Flag has had many names and many
designs since it was first made in 1775. The most popular name is the Stars and Stripes. The flag stands for the land, the people, the government and the ideals of the United States.
The first flag represented the 13 original colonies but had the British flag in the upper left hand corner. After the Declaration of Independence was written the British flag was
replaced with 13 stripes and 13 stars representing
the 13 colonies. As more states were added to the
union more stars were included. The 13 original
stripes remain on today's flag, but there are now
50 stars for the 50 states.
