The Flag everyone fly's now days IS NOT the peace Flag period. It is called the Title 4 Battle Flag. The American Civil Flag has vertical Stripes and can be seen on JFK's grave to this day. Flying the Flag most know as old Glory is a big mistake, it gives the Federal Gov Jurisdiction over your home and you period. The Civil Flag is what people need to get back too. Where did the poster of this question learn that the Flag we use today is a title 4 peace time? That is BS. The Flag in the court room is called a British Admiralty Flag and the one outside is the title 4 battle flag and was designated for Coast Guard ships and the Military only. man people are stupid.
The proper red, white, and blue Title 4 U.S.C. Section 1, Chapter 1 Civilian American Flag of the unity States of America with no yellow coloring or fringe takes precedence over all other flags because it is the flag of America the Nation, with an organic constitution. It has very specific dimensions that are defined in TITLE 4 of the UNITY-STATES CODE at CHAPTER 1: SECTIONS 1 and 2, it establishes the civilian jurisdiction for all courts in the united States of America, and its presence invokes constitutional authority. This civilian authority is mandated in almost all the State constitutions.
TITLE 4 U.S.C.A.
CHAPTER 1
PART I - DESIGN OF THE FLAG
Section 1. - The flag of the United States shall have thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white, and a union consisting of white stars on a field of blue.
Section 2. - The positions of the stars in the union of the flag and in the union jack shall be as indicated on the attachment to this order, which is hereby made a part of this order.
Section 3. - The dimensions of the constituent parts of the flag shall conform to the proportions set forth in the attachment referred to in section 2 of this order.

How many stars did the flag flying over fort mchenry have what do the stars on the flag represent?
15.
There are "official" flags of the United States. The Flag Act of 1794 increased the number of stars and stripes to 15 each from 13 each (accommodating the addition of Why_is_the_flag_at_fort_mchenry_only_have_15_starsand Kentucky). This was the only official flag to have more than 13 stripes. The Flag Act of 1818 would later reduce the number of stripes to 13. Vermont and Kentucky were added as states in 1791 and 1792, respectively, but the flag was not changed to reflect those additions until 1794. After 1794, the flag would not reflect the additions of Tennessee (1796), Ohio (1803), and Louisiana (1812) until the Flag Act of 1818.
