The American flag in 1889 featured 13 horizontal stripes, alternating red and white, representing the original 13 colonies, and had 38 stars arranged in five rows of eight stars each, representing the states of the Union at that time. The stars were white and set against a blue field in the upper left corner, known as the canton. This design was officially adopted on July 4, 1877, and remained until the addition of stars for new states. The flag's color scheme of red, white, and blue symbolized valor, purity, and justice, respectively.
