 Lesson : "The American flag has a name: The Star-Spangled Banner. It is composed of 50 stars and 13 horizontal red and white stripes. The American flag was adopted in 1777, less than a year after the War of Independence and the drafting of the Constitution, formalizing the creation of the new state. At that time, there were only 13 stars, symbolizing the 13 states already conquered on the east coast. The stars were added gradually as new states were formed, until 1959 with the integration of Hawaii as the fiftieth state of the Union (hence the 50 stars today). The 13 stripes still symbolize the 13 secessionist states that led the War of Independence against the United Kingdom."
Question : "What does represent the 50 stars? and the 13 stripes?"
Answer : "The fifty stars represent the fifty states of America now, and the thirteen stripes represent thirteen original states."
