Why did they chose to put stars and stripes on the flag?

Each star represents a state in the Union. 50 states, ergo, 50 stars...and if I'm not mistaken, the 13 stripes on the flag represent the 13 original colonies that made up the newly formed United States of America after the Revolutionary War.The 50 stars currently on the American flag represent the 50 states. The pattern and number of stars has changed since the independence of America, and even before then the flag had stars.

Was Betsy ross really the first person to make the American flag?

Did She or did she not? facts say she didn't another seamstresses did. But there is no true proof. Did her grandson make it up when it was first told in 1870? Congress gives credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the flag. The first flag was made for the navy in 1776 and it was a basic British flag with stripes. The second flag had stars where the British flag had a cross. More facts say she didn't so that is all i am left to believe.

Why was the American flag important during the revolutionary war?

The American flag in use today was not in existence during the Revolutionary War; it was created after Hawaii became a state (the flag was adopted on July 4, 1960). The first true American flag was known as the Grand Union. This flag was a clone of the one in use today, but instead of stars in the upper left corner, there was the Union Jack, to represent Great Britain. This flag was in use during the Revolutionary War (1775-1777; so it was in use when the US declared independence). The recognized first American flag, however, is the Stars and Stripes (made by Betsy Ross). This flag was also similar to the one in use today, however, it only had 13 stars and they were arranged in a circle (one star to represent each state at the time, much like today). This flag came into use immediately after the Grand Union (1777) and was replaced in 1795. Since the American Revolution lasted from 1775-1783, both of these flags were in use during the war.


What job did Betsy Ross do?

The story of Ross making the first flag is not true. It began with her grandson and has continued. Congress gave credit to the design of the first flag to Francis Hopkinson and the first flag was a navy flag made in 1776. It was a British Union flag divided by white stripes and our second flag put stars in the box where the British had a cross. The colors do not mean anything despite the Boy Scout Handbook stating that they do have meaning.
