The old U.S. flag, often referred to as the "Betsy Ross" flag or the "13-star flag," symbolizes the original 13 colonies that declared independence from Britain in 1776. Each star represents a colony, while the stripes represent the unity and struggle for freedom. The flag embodies ideals of liberty, patriotism, and the nation's founding principles. Over time, the flag has evolved, but its historical versions remind Americans of their shared heritage and values.
