What do the strips on the 1776 flag mean?
The 13 stripes on the flags of the United States of America represent the thirteen (13) original states. The flag with "76" displayed under an arc of 13 seven-pointed stars is known as the Fillmore or Bennington flag. Another unique feature of this flag is that the alternating red-white stripes begin with a white stripe at the top rather than the traditional red stripe. Supposedly this flag was from the Battle of Bennington, Vermont (August 1777) and was supposedly carried off the field of battle by Nathaniel Fillmore and passed down through generations of the Fillmore family. However, recent comparisons of flag construction, weaving, and materials dates this flag to the War of 1812 era. Regardless, it is an historic flag from one of our Wars with the British and is a very unique design. The original Bennington flag is in a museum in Bennington, Vermont.
What flag was flown over the Alamo?
The "Alamo flag" is often thought to be the same basic design as the flag of Mexico with three vertical stripes (green to the left, white in the middle and red to the right) with the date1824 in the very center of the flag's white stripe. There may be no solid proof that this was the "Alamo flag" at the time of the battle. The most likely flag flying over the Alamo in March of 1836 was the "New Orleans Greys" flag - a gray-blue flag with the words "First Company of Texan Volunteers." This flag was believed to have been taken by the Mexican General Santa Anna who led the battle against the Texans at the Alamo. The flag is still in the possession of Mexico.
