Originally the plan was to add a stripe and a star to the flag of the United States of America for every State in the union. This plan seemed like a good idea at first but as more States were added the flag became very tall and aesthetically displeasing.
An act of Congress signed into law by President James Monroes on April 4, 1818 created the 13 stripes only and added a star to the flag on July 4 the year following admission to the union.
" Section 1.Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States in Congress Assembled, That from and after the fourth day of July next, the flag of the United States be thirteen horizontal stripes, altered red and white; that the union have twenty stars, white in a blue field.
Section 2 And be it further enacted, That on the admission of every new State into the Union, one star shall be added to the union of the flag; and that such addition shall take effect on the fourth of July next succeeding such admission."
