During the 1861 to 1865 Civil War there were, and still are, 13 stripes on the American flag: 6 white and 7 red stripes. The only flag in US history to have other than 13 stripes was the flag from 1795 to 1818. It had 7 white stripes and 8 red stripes. When Vermont and Kentucky joined the US, two stars and two stripes were added to our first flag that had 13 stars and 13 stripes as specified in the flag resolution of June 14, 1777. This 15 star and 15 stripe flag, known as our "Star Spangled Banner," was made famous in the War of 1812 with the British. Francis Scott Key wrote a poem describing what he saw during the night-long battle - "In Defense of Fort M'Henry" - which later became the words to our National Anthem.
