Design Accepted

Gen. George Washington, Robert Morris, and Col. George Ross were appointed a committee by the Continental Congress to produce a flag for the United States of North America. Their report was approved and the design adopted on the 14th of June, 1777. By resolution Congress decided that the flag of the 13 United States should be 13 stripes, alternate red and white, and that the Union be 13 white stars on a blue field.
