No. There are many American flags. Each country has its own. The union flag became what is today the US flag.

Is the American flag the union flag?

No, the union flag is the British flag.The very first American flag included a union flag in the upper hoist canton, along with the thirteen stripes, this flag was named the Grand Union Flag. (This flag is the same as the British East India company flag, pre 1801.)There can be some confusion around this topic. In common American English use, the term "the Union" refers to the Northern States (i.e. the states remaining in the United States) during the American Civil War. As such, any reference in that context to a "Union Flag" means the American Flag (as flow at the time). "Union Flag" was not some specific design of flag, but was the American Flag.Outside the context of the American Civil War, the term Union Flag refers to the design of the Union Jack flag, the current flag of the United Kingdom (i.e. Great Britain, or, formally, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
