Слайд 5The American flag is known as THE STARS AND STRIPES. It
consists of fifty stars which represent the fifty states.
Слайд 6Thirteen red and white horizontal stripes (seven red and six white)
stand for the original thirteen States that were united in 1776.
Слайд 7“Continental Colours”
The first flag was called The Grand Union Flag. It
combined the flag of Great Britain with the thirteen stripes. It showed that these first thirteen states were British colonies.
Слайд 8After the War of Independence, all thirteen states became free and
the flag changed. The British flag in the corner was replaced by stars.
Слайд 9Every time a new state entered the Union, a star was
added.
Слайд 10The Flag today.
So now today’s flag shows the thirteen stripes for
the original number of states in 1776 plus the 50 stars which represent today’s total.
