"Thursday, June 10/1965 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section Two -- Page One U.S. Flags " (Below is the conclusion of the history of the American fl&g which started in the June 3 issue.) On Aug. 16, 1777, the Green Mountain Boys fought under the Bennington Flag. This wa; believed to be the first time the Stars and Stripes was displayed. The Bennington Flag had 13 stars and 13 stripes -- and the figure 76 in the heart of the stars honored the year of American Independence. In January, 1781, the Third Maryland Regiment fought at Cowpens, South Carolina, and was under the banner of the first Stars and Stripes which fulfilled the flag resolution of 1777, This flag had 12 white Stars in an oval anef one in the center of the blue field . . and seven red and six white ftripes. * There are those who have dug into the; available recorded da/ta of the period,. . . ami liav> decided, perhaps rightly, that the Betsy Ross stbry is a myth. This may be true . . . but many a myth has outgrown its fiction and become hai lowed emong the recorded "'ruths" ©f- history. Many a b-:v and £irl., has grown up loving the etery of Betsy Ross and General George Washington, picluring the heroic general in full dress uniform visiti'v; "the little workshop of the humble needleworker of Philadelphia. This memory should not l;e destroyed . . . and with ISO,000.- 000 Americans to tell it land the number growing every flay) there's no way to stop it. even if you try! • Betsy Ross* flag . . . with its circlet of stars . . . was to be shortlived. The flag of 1795 changed the circle of stars to two parallel rows of horizontal stars ... 15 stars in all . . . with 15 stripes. This was the first flag to fly over the capitol in Washington, D. C. and five presidents, Washington. Adams, Jefferson, Madison1'and M o n r o e , a l l s e r v e d u n d e r i t . five new states were admitted to the Union but no change Was made in the flag. Change was inevitable, however. As the number of states in the Union grew ... so did their jealousies. When Congress pa.-^ed a measure in 1818 ... it established the flag as we know it today . . . thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white . . . that it shall have stars of white in a field of blue . . . and that one alar be added to the flag for every state admitted to the Union. On March 4, 1861, a great change took place. The first flag of the Confederacy was adopted . . . destined to be one of the four Confederate Flags which served as banners for the South during 1he War between the States. The 1861 flag had three wide horizontal stripes . . . red on top, white in the middle, red on t h e b o t t o m . I n thp u p p e r l e f t corner of the flag . . . like the blue field of the U. S. Flag . . . was a field of blue with S stais. The Battle Flag of the Confederacy, best known of the'Sout h e r n f l a g s , was known as t h e Southern Cross, and is the flag most remembered an 1 used today. Two blue snipes With 13 stars extended aciass this flag from corner to cvrnor . . . upper left to lower'right and lower left to upper right with four red triangles in the openings. The Confederate flag of 1863 picked up the Battle Flag and ased it as a canton on a flag of pure white . . . but this was soon dropped because it was sometimes misinterpreted as a flag of tryce and also, because calm days found) the flag hanging loose and lifeless on its staff, a white cloth with no color to give it character. The Confederate Flag of 1864 changed the shape of the Battle Flag canton slightly and added a wide perpendicular red stripe on the right hand border. At this time there were pressures brought on President Lincoln to change the U. S. Flag, with its 34 stars which continued as the standard of the Northern states . . . but the President, looking forward to the days when the North and South would inevitably live , ill peace as. the re-United States of America, steadfastly withstood them. Stars were never withdrawn from the flag when the Southern states withdrew from the Union. When, the war was over, new states were continually admitted . . . and by 1898 there were 45 stars in the field. Another was added for Oklahoma in 1907, Arizona and New Mexiro in 1912 . . . and the 48 star flag served the nation through two World Wars until Alaska became a state in 1959 and a new star was added . . . making 49. Later the same year, Hawaii came into the Union, and (Mi July 4, 1960 the 50- star Flag of today was born.
