The US adapted its fifty star version of the national flag in the year of 1960. The exact date that the United States 50-star flag was adapted was on July 4, 1960.
The Union Jack is the flag of Great Britain. I will assume you mean the Union vs. the Confederate flag of the American Civil War. Although Kansas attained status on January 29, 1861 as the 34th state, Ft. Sumter was still flying the 33-star flag when it was bombarded in April. Therefore, it could be argued just as effectively that the first official flag of the U.S. (Union) Army of the Civil War was the older, 33-star banner or the newer, 34-star version. However, the official flag of the Union when war broke out was the 34-star Kansas-inclusive version adopted at the end of January, 1861. Many versions followed, some representing states and others brigades and various military units.

There is no official designation for which state each star represents.
They all just represent a state there is no "that star is Wisconsin."
The 50-star flag has been the official flag of the United States of America since July 4, 1960, and it will continue to be the official U.S. flag until the first 4th of July on which the U.S. no longer consists of only 50 states.

You'll want to fly the most recent version of the American flag on top. You can then fly the historical version below and normally etiquette will say to fly a smaller size for that historical one. The 50 Star American flag should always be the most prominent.
The stars that were formed to make a circle on the original United States of America flag represented the Thirteen Original Colonies, therefore there were thirteen stars. Now that there are fifty states in the U.S. the flag star arrangement has changed to show fifty stars formed to make a rectangle on the top left corner of out flag.
