33, 34, and 35. There were 33 stars on the US flag when shots were fired on Ft. Sumter on April 12, 1861 starting the Civil War. Kansas joined the US in January 1861 for a total of 34 stars on July 4th 1861. In June 1863, during the Civil War West Virginia joined the US adding one more star, totaling 35 stars on July 4th 1863. Then on October 31, 1864 Nevada joined the US adding yet another star for a total of 36 stars on July 4th 1865. But, the Civil War ended during April & May 1865 with General Lee's surrender and CSA President Jefferson Davis' capture. The 36 star US flag was not yet the official flag. During the Civil War and after the formation of the Confederate States of America, US President Abraham Lincoln refused to reduce the number of stars on the flag of the United States of America.
