an american flag is shown with the names and dates for each country in their official colors

Ever since Betsy Ross sewed the first official American flag in 1776, the United States didn't really have a true identity. The flag wasn't adopted until 1777, but it has stuck. The original design is different than that of today's flag, but the color scheme and base idea is the same. The only thing that has changed are the number of stars, and the way in which they are arranged. The American flag has certainly changed throughout history, and nowadays you can see many people wearing it…

many american flags are arranged in rows on a white background with the words, america's first national flag

“Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." So there were as many flags as designers :)
