Flag History: Considered by historians as the first “official” American flag. It was used between 1775 and 1777. The flag was an adaptation of the British Naval flag, which was altered by the inclusion of the thirteen alternating red and white stripes (which represented the thirteen colonies). The flag kept the original red cross of St. George and white cross of St.Andrew, which represented American ties to Great Britain. At this time in 1775, the majority of American colonists were still opposed to a comlete break with Britain. The Grand Union flag represented their hope for reconcilliation and loyalty to the motherland.
