Flag History

On January 1, 1776, the Great Army reorganized according to a resolution of the National Assembly, whereby the US military was under the control of George Washington. On New Year 's Day, the Great Army surrounded Boston. Boston was handed over to the British army. Washington ordered the flag of the Grand Alliance to hang from the base of Prospect Hill. It has 13 spare red and white stripes and the upper left corner of the British League Jack (Guangzhou)

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the first national flag bill to set the official flag of the new country. "The decision consists of 13 stripes where the American flag alternates between red and white, the blue field is white and represents a new constellation."

Between 1777 and 1960, Congress passed several actions to change the shape, design and layout of the flag, allowing additional stars and stripes to reflect the perception of their respective states:

The law on 4th April 1818 stipulates that there are 13 stripes and stars in each state, after joining the provinces, join the national flag on July 4th, signed by President Monroe.

President Taft 's presidential decree on June 24, 1912, the percentage of the national flag was determined and it was stipulated that eight stars should be placed on the six horizontal lines.

On January 3, 1959 President Eisenhower's presidential ordinance stipulated the order of seven stars in seven rows and segments.

In the administrative order of Eisenhower on August 21, 1959, 9 rows of stars interlaced with the stars, 11 rows of stars were vertically interlaced.

Today, the national flag of the United States alternates between 13 horizontal stripes, 7 reds and 6 white. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies, and the asterisk represents 50 states in North America.

Throughout the history of the United States, there are more than 30 variations in the American flag (American history). However, the origin of the official US flag is unknown. Several historians believe that it was designed by New Jersey Councilor Francis Hopkinson and sewn by the Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross (PBS). However, as there are so many changes, it is difficult to accurately track the origins of the official flags. Regarding symbolism, the official American flag, 13 horizontal stripes - alternately 7 reds, 6 white - represents 13 original colonies. The star symbolizes 50 states that make up the United States. The color of the American flag also contains a symbolic meaning. Red is used to express courage and persistence, white is pure and pure - Finally, blue stands for vigilance, patience and justice (PBS)

What is the American flag? What does it stand for? For many Americans, the flag represents freedom, pride and justice. Our banner represents freedom. Because we need to lose a lot of life in history to become our country today. The American flag is proud because many American soldiers sacrificed their lives for us. Finally, our flags represent justice, because in the United States we have the right to a fair trial whatever we commit any crime. Another view of the American flag is red, white, and blue. Some Americans believe that all the blood of the battlefield is red. In our great American country, the colors and victories of the other victories are white. Finally, I feel sad or sad blue because I lost my life in the war
