Who decided the original US flag?
On June 14, 1777 the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution that established our Nation's flag: Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation. Thus we recognize June 14th as Flag Day in the United States.The original design of the flag is a mystery of history. The "Betsy Ross flag" with a circle of 13 five-pointed stars was probably NOT our first flag design. Rather Francis Hopkinson's flag design is more likely since he was in the loop with the Continental Congress at the time of the signing of the Flag Resolution. The "Hopkinson Flag" featured 5 rows of six-pointed stars: numbered 3-2-3-2-3. He also helped design the official seal of the US was a signer of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and there is documentation where he asked to be reimbursed for the design work of the new flag. He was not paid since he was considered a "public servant" at the time.

For a very brief period of time - between Alaska's statehood on January 3, 1959 to Hawaii's statehood on August 21, 1959 - there were 49 states, so there were 49 stars on the US flag. Hawaii was the 50th state to join the Union. It was a territory of the United States since 1898. Prior to that, it had been a sovereign nation.
