when the flag got its place

the timeline of our american flag
the time line of our american flag and how it made it here.
Our first thought of american flag
Before we had the american flag we would use the good old british flag, but close to our independence we needed our own symbol of america. that is when our american flag had 13 stars in a round shape for the 13 colonies, but it wasn't always the 13 stared flag. In 1777 we had a flag were the stars look like this...
The unofficial flags of america!!!
We had many different flags that we used in america there were no official way to arranged the 13 stars on the flag. Like the one above there way also this one which was used by the "Third Maryland Regiment".
The Revolutionary War ended in 1781
many more flags were created after the war ended until 1960 when our 50 stared flag got placed as the American flag.
