It was Alaska.
Alaska's star was added to the United States of America's flag in 1959. Hawaii was added to the flag in 1960.
I think Hawaii and Alaska became states at about the same time, and the flag went from 48 to 50 stars. That's means Alaska.
They are....the US flag has 50 stars representing the 50 states of the union.
A 13-year old designed Alaska's flag!!
There are 8 stars on the Alaska state flag.
No, why would you think that. They are still states because we still have 50 stars on our flag.
Before Hawaii and Alaska was included as states, only the "Lower 48" states had stars in the flag. This was changed in 1959, when they were both exepted into the union, Alaska on the 3rd of January, and Hawaii on the 21st of August.
Hawaii
Alaska's flag was designed by a 13 year old named Benny Benson from the Aleutians.
The 1956 American flag was changed to incorporate stars for the newly admitted states of Alaska and Hawaii. Prior to this change, the flag had 48 stars to represent the existing states. The addition of Alaska and Hawaii as the 49th and 50th states necessitated the update to the flag design. This change officially took effect on July 4, 1959.
The two states missing from the American flag are Hawaii and Alaska. Both states were added to the Union after the original 48 stars were established, with Alaska becoming the 49th state in 1959 and Hawaii the 50th in 1960. The current flag features 50 stars, representing all 50 states.
