The United States Flag
History:
Adopted on June 14, 1777, the original
American flag was sewn by Betsy Ross. It
started with a circle of 13 stars, representing
the 13 colonies in existence at that time. As
states were created and U.S. land was
expanded, more stars were added to the flag
to represent the 50 states. However, thirteen
stripes still remain, symbolic of the original 13
colonies. The blue represents justice, the
white represents purity, and the red
represents valor.
