In 1812, It was the 15 star and 15 stripe Flag. (This flag inspired Francis Scott Key to write 'The Star-Spangled Banner') On April 14, 1818, a plan was passed by Congress in which the flag was changed to have 20 stars, with a new star being added when a new state was admitted, but the number of stripes would be 13, to honor the original colonies.
