In 1959.
Actually, while Hawaii was added as a state in August 1959, the first time a flag with the now-50 stars on it was on 4 July 1960, the next Independence Day after Hawaii was admitted.
The final two stars were added to the flag to represent Alaska and Hawaii.
because there are 50 states, and each state stands for a star
shut up you stupid yank
because they found more states
In 1795 and again in 1818. In 1795 after Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the USA two more stars and two more stripes were added to the flag of the United States of America. This 15 star 15 stripe US flag lasted until 1818 when five more states were admitted. At that time the US Congress decided to revert to the original 13 alternating red and white stripes and add a star to represent each new state. The 15 star 15 stripe flag is known as the "Star Spangled Banner" the flag of our National Anthem.
Nope, it's not permitted.
New stars were added to the American flag on July 4th of the year following their admission to the Union.
No because they only have fifty stars and if you add Washington D.C. it would make it fifty one! More to the point, stars are only for states, and Washington, DC is not a state.
After a new state is added to the union flag is taken upon a request to congress to add a new star to represent that new state
Old Glory, The Stars and Stripes, The Red, White, and Blue, and The Star-Spangled Banner are the most popular nicknames of the US Flag.AnswerAs there is no such thing as the American flag and assuming you actually mean the US flag then;old glory and the stars and stripes.You can also add, "Star-Spangled Banner", and "Red-White-Blue".Answer: While some people don't like that Americans refer to ourselves or other things in America as "American" ... this is indeed a completely appropriate moniker. ... the rest of this gentleman's reply is accurate.
As the flag of the U.S.A , first only had thirteen stripes and thirteen stars that stood for the first thirteen states. But as there w as no place to add more stripes. It was then decided to add a star for each new state, so now there are fifty stars for the fifty states
