Early US flag design debated by Continental Congress
The 1777 Continental Congress resolution established the Stars and Stripes on June 14 but did not dictate star arrangement beyond depicting a new constellation. The Betsy Ross flag popularized a circular pattern to avoid precedence among colonies, leading to varied early flag forms per the U S Marine Corps Reserve.
