A flag for today and for the first Independence Day
While never officially sanctioned by the Continental Congress, the lower flag (displayed above at Havens House) is considered the first flag of the United States and was in use from late 1775 until mid-1777. In one of his letters, George Washington referred to the flag as the “Union Flag in Compliment to the United Colonies.” Within the flag's blue canton is the red cross of St. George and the white cross of St. Andrew. The 13 stripes signified the original colonies. By June 14, 1777, the Continental Colors were replaced by the first Stars and Stripes with its 13 stars on a field of blue representing a “new constellation” and America's new-found independence.
