What are the parts of the American Flag?
The blue field in the top left corner which holds 50 stars for the 50 US states of America. The rest of the flag are 13 red and white stripes (7 red, 6 white) representing the original 13 colonies of Britain on the East Coast. The blue field with the 50 stars is called the "canton" or the "union." The "field" is what contains the stripes. The "fly" is the length of the flag (left to right). The "hoist" of the flag is the height of the flag on the side that it is attached to a pole or a halyard for raising and lowering.
What side should the us flag fly?
When looking at a series of flags in the USA the flag of the United States of America should always be on the left. Another way to look at it, if you were the flag this would be the flag's right. On a stage the US flag should be on the left of the stage from the audience view, to the right hand of the speaker. Again, the flag is positioned on the flag's right. If there is a row of flags the US flag should be in the center on the tallest flag pole.

How many flags did the confederate have?
The confedarate national flag went through several phases. First was the "Stars and Bars." it was a red flage with a white stripe through the middle running horizontaly, and in the upper left corner, 11 stars on a blue field. That looked to much like the American flag, so they changed it to a white flag with a Confedarate Battle flag in the upper left corner. That looked to much like a surrender flag, so the final version was the sane, but with a vertical red sripe on the right side. The battle flag is a red square with a white "X" going from cornre to corner from both directions. Insode that was a smaller blue "X" containing 13 stars. One in the middle, and three on each leg ogf the "X." The Naval Jack was the same as the battle flag, but it was rectangular, like a normal flag. So the confederacy had 5 oficial flags overall.
Who came up with the design for the American flag?
The Maritime Committee of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania specified the flag in the Flag Resolution of June 14th 1777: "Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." Notice how the design is open to lots of interpretation. Francis Hopkinson is credited with the design of the first flag of the United States of America. Other than the alternating red and white stripes the 13 stars were arranged in a 3-2-3-2-3 pattern in the upper left corner of the flag, the "union."
