Myth: Ms. Betty Ross...She changed the original six points of the flag to five. May 1776 was when she was recognized for sewing the first American flag.The original flag of the United States of America was authorized by Congress on June 14th, 1777, to specify a flag to be flown on ships of the United States. The very first flag was probably designed by Francis Hopkinson who participated in the design of the Great Seal of the United States. His flag design featured 13 six-pointed stars in a 3-2-3-2-3 pattern.
Betsy Ross helped design and create the very first United States flag.
Abraham Lincoln became President of the United States on March 4, 1861, at which point there were 33 stars on the United States flag. As of July 4 of the same year, a new flag was introduced, with 34 stars, due to Kansas being added to the union.
There are no horizons on the flag of the United States. There are however 50 stars.
The Pledge of Allegiance is the national pledge of the United States. It is an expression of allegiance to the Flag of the United States and the republic of the United States of America.
Kansas became the thirty-fourth state adopted to the Union on January 29, 1861. Customarily, a new United States flag is adopted on the July 4 of the year in which a new state is adopted into the Union - and thus Kansas "became" the thirty-fourth star on the flag on July 4, 1861.
