During the Revolutionary War, people of the United States wanted a flag that represented their new country. Many versions of the Stars and Stripes were created. Finally in 1818, Congress passed a law setting the number of stars and stripes. At last, the country was united under one flag design. The flag was the inspiration for the words of Francis Scott Key, which became the national anthem. It also encouraged Francis Bellamy and James B. Upham to write the Pledge of Allegiance. The flag has seen the United States through wars, adventures, growth, celebrations, and most recently, terrorist attacks. But in good times and in bad, the American flag deserves our respect, loyalty, and love. Book jacket.
