In 1772, the Continental Congress passed the Flag Act: "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." This flag is sometimes called the "Betsy Ross flag" after a Philadelphia seamstress.
