American Flag Pictures
American Flag history
The American flag, officially, the Flag of the
United States, has 13 horizontal stripes ( 7 red and 6 white alternating) which
represent the original 13 colonies, and in the upper corner a rectangular field
of blue with 50 white stars representing the states of the union. The origin of
the design was a resolution passed by Congress on June 14, 1777. Although Betsy
Ross is traditionally given credit for making the first flag, this has not been
proven, nor is anyone certain when the first American flag was flown. As new
states were added to the Union, they demanded representation. Although it was
decided to keep the stripes at 13, it was decided in 1818 to increase the number
of stars to represent the number of states. By the time of the Civil War in 1861
there were 34. The 50th star was added in 1960 for Hawaii. By executive order of
William Howard Taft in 1912 the exact dimensions and relative proportions were
fixed. In 1942 Congress adopted a joint resolution for the proper display of the
flag.
