The American flag is commonly referred to as the "Stars and Stripes" or the "Old Glory."
When George Washington was president from 1789 to 1797, the US flag featured 13 stripes representing the original colonies, alternating red and white, and a blue field in the canton with 13 white stars arranged in a circle. This design, known as the "Betsy Ross flag," was not officially adopted until 1777. However, variations of the flag were used during Washington's presidency, with the number of stars and their arrangement evolving before the current 50-star design was established. The flag symbolized unity and the new nation's independence.
The blue flag represents the fact that Washington was at one time the military leader of the nation.
There have always been 13 stripes on the American flag, as the stripes represent the 13 original colonies. In 1846, there were 28 stars on the flag.
