In 1959 Hawaii became the last state joined to the United States, and then the star was added.
The stars on the American flag represent the number of states in the Union. For that reason, the appearance of the American flag has changed many times over the years. The original flag, known as "Old Glory," displayed 13 stars to represent the original 13 states when the nation declared its independence from Great Britain in 1776. Today's flag has 50 stars because there are now 50 states. The last two stars were added in 1959, when Alaska and Hawaii joined the Union, bringing the number of states -- and the number of stars on the flag -- from 48 to the present 50. The flag has not changed since then. The stripes represent the 13 original colonies.
There is no such thing as the American flag, with or without stars.
The stars on the US flag represent the 50 states in the US. Ever since the US began, it added a white star on its flag to represent the new state.

Alaska's star was added to the United States of America's flag in 1959. Hawaii was added to the flag in 1960.
The flag developed over time. Francis Hopkins designed the first flag for the navy in1776 and Congress has recognized him as the designer ( not Ross). When the United States began there were 13 stars, but as states were added so were stars. The last two stars were added in 1959 when Alaska and Hawaii were added.
