The History of the American Flag
On June 14, 1777,
the Continental Congress
passed an act
establishing an official flag
for the new nation.
The resolution stated:
“Resolved,
that the flag of the United States
be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white;
that the union be thirteen stars,
white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation."

Francis Scott Key's song
National anthem >
'The
Star-Spangled Banner'
flag > star-spangled banner
The song officially became
America's national anthem in 1931,
but it's been around
since the early 19th century.

Historically, the roots
of “The Star-Spangled Banner”
in American
sports
have been traced as far back
as baseball games
in the mid-19th
century,
and the song became
more widespread in baseball
during the heightened atmosphere
in this country
around the First World War.

upside-down US flag / inverted flag >
the “Appeal to Heaven” flag
(...) originates from the Revolutionary war
nd has in recent years become
a symbol of far-right Christian extremism,

The inverted flag is a symbol
that has become associated with Trump’s
false claims that Joe Biden stole the election.
Used by some Trump supporters
during the January 6 Capitol riot,
the upside-down flag was seen
outside Alito’s home on 17 January 2021
– 10 days after the riot in DC
nd three days before Biden’s inauguration,
according to
a report in the New York Times
on Friday.
