Thirteen star flags represent the original 13 colonies of the United States. On June 14, 1777 the US Continental Congress adopted a resolution that stated: Resolved, the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes and alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation.” As new states were added to the union a star was added to the flag for each new addition.
