Which state was the 14th star for on the American flag?
No. At least not "officially." The U.S. flag from 1777 to 1795 had 13 stars and 13 red & white stripes. Then in 1795, after Vermont and Kentucky joined we had a 15 star flag with 15 red and white stripes, our "Star Spangled Banner." Then in 1818 after five more states joined our flag had 20 stars and 13 red and white stripes.
Why is the flag at fort mchenry only have 15 stars?
There are "official" flags of the United States. The Flag Act of 1794 increased the number of stars and stripes to 15 each from 13 each (accommodating the addition of Vermont and Kentucky). This was the only official flag to have more than 13 stripes. The Flag Act of 1818 would later reduce the number of stripes to 13. Vermont and Kentucky were added as states in 1791 and 1792, respectively, but the flag was not changed to reflect those additions until 1794. After 1794, the flag would not reflect the additions of Tennessee (1796), Ohio (1803), and Louisiana (1812) until the Flag Act of 1818.
What does the Vermont state flag represent?
The coat of arms is supported by pine branches and needles, and includes a pine tree, cow, and farm crops symbolizing its roots in forestry and agriculture. (This is similar to the more stylized Great Seal of Vermont.) The red banner below has "Vermont" in the center, with "Freedom...and Unity" (the state motto).
Is Vermont the Don't tread on me state?
Oh, dude, Vermont is actually known as the Green Mountain State, not the "Don't tread on me" state. That slogan is more associated with the Gadsden flag. So, like, if you're looking to avoid stepping on anyone's toes in Vermont, just watch out for those green mountains instead.
What do the strips on the 1776 flag mean?
The 13 stripes on the flags of the United States of America represent the thirteen (13) original states. The flag with "76" displayed under an arc of 13 seven-pointed stars is known as the Fillmore or Bennington flag. Another unique feature of this flag is that the alternating red-white stripes begin with a white stripe at the top rather than the traditional red stripe. Supposedly this flag was from the Battle of Bennington, Vermont (August 1777) and was supposedly carried off the field of battle by Nathaniel Fillmore and passed down through generations of the Fillmore family. However, recent comparisons of flag construction, weaving, and materials dates this flag to the War of 1812 era. Regardless, it is an historic flag from one of our Wars with the British and is a very unique design. The original Bennington flag is in a museum in Bennington, Vermont.
Was the original Bennington flag of Vermont hand-sewn?
Yes, the original Bennington flag was stitched by hand some time in the early 1800's, perhaps for the 50th anniversary of the Revolutionary War in 1826. The flag is made of cotton that was made on a powered loom, a technology not available in the 1770's.
