Evolution of the American Flag a National Symbol
The article traces flag symbolism from ancient standards to the first union flag of 1776. Washington designed the 1776 flag with 13 stripes and 13 stars, adopted by Congress on June 14, 1777. Stars now number 45, each representing a state, while flags of states accompany the national standard in parades. The flag's status shifted from relic to living principle after Fort Sumter, and the piece ends with a patriotic exclamation on the flag's enduring wave over the land.
