The United States has had two flags that feature circles: the 13-star flag used from 1777 to 1795, which arranged the stars in a circular pattern, and the 50-star flag, adopted in 1960, which has the stars in nine rows of alternating five and six. The circular arrangement of stars symbolizes unity among the states. Other flags, such as state flags or military flags, may also feature circular designs, but these are not official US flags.
they are straight.
250/50 = 50 flags.
Fifty (50)
they are arranged diagonally.
I believe you meant how many stars were on the first US flag. There is no such thing as the American flag. The first US flag was made up of 13 white stars which were arranged in a circle on a blue background. There was also 13 stripes that was alternating red and white.
50 stars. One for each state in the Union.
The first U.S. flag had thirteen stars
If you are asking about the "display" of stars signifying a General Officer of the US Military, they are arranged on the epaulet of the uniform in linear order for one through four stars. If a five star General of the Army, the stars are arranged in a circle.
coffin flags ARE American flags, so there's the same amount of stars on each.
There are no documented 13 star flags in existence so we don't know how the stars were arranged except from period illustrations.Those illustrations show a tremendous variety of star patterns. Flags with circular star patterns have been used and/or proposed continually since 1795 to the present time. So the answer is "from 13 to 50."(I have a 50-star flag where the arrangement of stars is a double circle.) Though I must admit that I have never seen a 49-star flag with the stars arranged in a circle.
