The most interesting part is the beginning. The first flag is the only one without stars. On the second and third flags, the number of stripes matches the number of states (**the third flag is the only one with 15 stripes instead of 13**). After that, the number of stars always corresponds to the current number of states, while the 13 stripes symbolize the 13 founding states.

New animations about the history of flags from around the world are coming soon. If you’re interested, subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss anything! 🙂
I generate my graphics using Python scripts, and then I combine them into animations using tools like Canva or CapCut.
Only the first flag is legit. Yours, UK.
You know you’re still kinda old if you remember a flag with 46, 48, or 49 stars.
Where’s that one with the round of stars?
The ones with 37 and 43 states are absolutely disgusting. Hope they shot those ungodly creatures who designed those.
Where is the Serapis Flag? That was the best fucking one!
The current 50 state flag seems the most aesthetically pleasing one. Or it could be because it’s the only one I’m used to
Some of those have an absolutely appalling layout of stars. Get a decent graphic designer, 1867.
It’ll be a cold day in hell before I recognize Missourah
Isn’t that first one the flag of the East India Company?
All just pieces of cloth with no meaning
Technically there’s no rule on how wide the strips should be, or where the stars should be located. Or even what exact color should be.
So you can *technically* make the flag look like a communist flag.
most people don’t realize that hawaii wasn’t yet a state when the japanese bombed pearl harbor.
