History of the American Flag

1. The origin of the flag is actually unknown to historians even though most believe Betsy Ross made the original. 2. The flag got involved in that flag came about on June 14, 1777 when congress passed the first of three major flag acts . 3. The graphic design choices along with the color and choices of shapes all have meaning. The white stands for purity and innocence. The blue for vigilance, justice, and perseverance.
