The US flag today has thirteen stripes which are red and white, symbolizing the 13 colonies. It has, in the upper left hand corner, fifty stars with a deep blue backround. Through our history just remember that whenever a new state was created, a star had to be added to the original thirteen. Here is what our flag looked like when the Revolution ended. The thirteen stars represented the original thirteen colonies. There were two versions of the original flag.
Throughout history, more and more stars were crowded into the blue square. In the future if we aqquire more states, the number inside will grow. Let's say Puerto Rico becomes the 51st state. Many people already prepared for the fifty one state flag. Here is what it looks like.
