The original 13 Colonies were British settlements. The first unique flag of the 13 Colonies was the Grand Union Flag also called the Continental Colors. It was a British Red Ensign flag with 6 white stripes sewn on it making 13 alternating red and white stripes. Instead of stars in the upper left corner of the flag there was the British Union Jack which was the combination of the flag of England (the red vertical-horizontal St. George's cross) and the flag of Scotland (the white diagonal corner to corner St. Andrews cross).
