From 1795 to 1818, the US used a flag that had 15 stars and 15 stripes. It signified the original colonies and the addition of 2 new states, Vermont and Kentucky. The 15 stripes were for the 15 states in the USA at that time. On July 4, 1818, a new flag was created. It had 20 stars for 5 new states that were added to the US.
