Why was the American flag important during the revolutionary war?
The American flag in use today was not in existence during the Revolutionary War; it was created after Hawaii became a state (the flag was adopted on July 4, 1960). The first true American flag was known as the Grand Union. This flag was a clone of the one in use today, but instead of stars in the upper left corner, there was the Union Jack, to represent Great Britain. This flag was in use during the Revolutionary War (1775-1777; so it was in use when the US declared independence). The recognized first American flag, however, is the Stars and Stripes (made by Betsy Ross). This flag was also similar to the one in use today, however, it only had 13 stars and they were arranged in a circle (one star to represent each state at the time, much like today). This flag came into use immediately after the Grand Union (1777) and was replaced in 1795. Since the American Revolution lasted from 1775-1783, both of these flags were in use during the war.

How has the American flag changed over time?
AnswerNot much change except for the number of stars and their placement. Original US flag had 13 stripes (as it still does) and 13 stars. A star was added for each State that joined the Union, and the placement of the stars changed patterns as necessary for uniformity. In 1795 when Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the U.S. our flag had 15 stars AND 15 stripes, alternating red and white. This flag is known as the "Star Spangled Banner." Then in 1818 the flag returned to 13 stripes and 20 stars for 20 states. Since then it has remained the same with 13 alternating red and white stripes with the addition of stars for each new state.
Why is the confederate flag so constroversial?
Much of the controversy comes from misunderstandings. First, what flag do they have issues with? Most people when asked what the "Confederate Flag" looks like would point to a red banner with a blue cross corner to corner with 13 stars in the cross. Some people even refer to this flag as the "stars and bars" because it has white stars on blue bars. Both of those beliefs are FALSE! The flag that most people think of as the "Confederate Flag" is the Confederate Navy Jack (rectangular flag) or the Confederate Cavalry or Artillery flag (square flag). There were three (3) official flags of the Confederate States of America and this flag was NOT one of them. The Confederate Stars and Bars (first flag of the Confederate States of America) looks nothing like the Confederate Navy Jack or Cavalry flags. Take a look at Georgia's state flag. Except for the state seal in the circle of 13 stars, that is the first flag of the Confederacy, the "Stars and Bars." The second point: Some will say that the "Confederate Flag" stands for slavery or racism. Others will say that the "Confederate Flag" stands for rebels and "red necks." The association of the "Confederate Flag" with controversy may have begun with "white supremacy" movements of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) founded in the Southern States in 1865 by Confederate veterans.
How many flags did the confederate have?
The confedarate national flag went through several phases. First was the "Stars and Bars." it was a red flage with a white stripe through the middle running horizontaly, and in the upper left corner, 11 stars on a blue field. That looked to much like the American flag, so they changed it to a white flag with a Confedarate Battle flag in the upper left corner. That looked to much like a surrender flag, so the final version was the sane, but with a vertical red sripe on the right side. The battle flag is a red square with a white "X" going from cornre to corner from both directions. Insode that was a smaller blue "X" containing 13 stars. One in the middle, and three on each leg ogf the "X." The Naval Jack was the same as the battle flag, but it was rectangular, like a normal flag. So the confederacy had 5 oficial flags overall.
Nickname of the Confederate Army's first flag?
The first national Confederate flag was nicknamed "Stars and Bars". The Confederate battle flag that flew starting from 1863, was called "The Southern Cross". Furthermore, at the start of the Civil War a third banner was adopted by the CSA in 1861. It consisted of a single, five pointed white star, on a blue field and was called "The Bonnie Blue Flag".
Why Did the confederate change the design of the battle flag so many times?
The design of the battle flag was not changed at all. In the east, in General Lee's Army, they were usually 4' X 4", square, while in the Army of Tennessee in the west they were usually rectangular, as is seen today. The flag design which was changed was the Confederate National Flag, the Stars and Bars. General Beauregard designed the battle flag because the Stars and Bars, on smoky battlefields, looked too much like the old flag, the Stars and Stripes of the Union. This might cause friend to fire on friend. or allow the enemy to draw too near, from misinterpreting which flag they were showing. But the Confederate Navy continued to use the "First National" Flag, the Stars and Bars. This soon was seen to cause confusion at sea as much as it had on land, so the "Second National" flag was adopted, which was a white flag, with a miniature representation of the battle flag in the upper corner, where the stars had been. But this looked too much like a white flag of surrender, and more confusion resulted. So the "Third National" Flag was adopted, which was the same as the Second but with a broad red stripe added up and down the end, so it would no longer look like Rebel vessels were flying a white flag.
