Here is a look at some of the key moments in USA flag history:

The different types of US flags

Flags are an essential part of American culture, and there are many different types of US flags. Here is a quick guide to the different types of US flags:

The American flag is the national flag of the United States. It consists of thirteen stripes, with a blue field in the upper left corner and thirteen stars in a circle above it. The flag was first flown in 1777 and has been modified several times since then.

The Civil War flag was designed in 1861, just a few months after the start of the war. The Union (Northern) side wanted a flag that would be easily recognizable, so it used a popular design from earlier in the century. The Confederate (Southern) side created their own flag, which featured a white field with a red cross. After the war, both sides adopted their respective flags as official ones.

The modern US flag was adopted in 1907. It features thirteen stripes and has been changed only slightly since then. The stars on the flag were originally selected to represent each state in the union, but this system was eventually abandoned in 1912. Today, each star represents one of the fifty states.
