The
Grand Union Flag
has been generally
regarded as the true "first flag" of our fledgling nation.
It consists of a field of thirteen stripes, just as our flag today
has, combined with the King's Colors flag. It served as the flag
of the Revolution until it was replaced by the Stars and Stripes
in a declaration of the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. |
