cross Of st. Andrew. and later on with the cross
or ST. Patrick, was the very last flag to be sup.
planted by the Stars and Stripes
The people of America, with growing contempt
for Old World flags. fabricated many of their
own. Some of these were very odd and without
exception, all of them were very ugly This was
true until 1920 when the Mayhower carried the
ST. Georges cross, but those stern old Puritans
protested against the use of the cross upon the
flag, believing 1t to be sacriegious. and in every
way they could used other devices and designs
only to bring down upon themselves the wrath
OF the kings officers in the colonies. The first
evidence of this was when Mr. Endicott, mu-
tnyfng against the cross, concluded to cut of
one end of 1t. Roger Williams. for some reason
probably just to get a whack at one whom he
disiked. complained Of this. The kings officers
took 1t up and after long discussion. decided
that Mr.. Endicott had been guilty of lese majestic
although that term was not known in those days.
He was deposed from Office and a penalty i'm.
posed that he should not hold Office again for
one year. thus putting an end to the flying OF
any flag other than that bearing the st. George
cross
For long time plain red flag was carried
by an organization called the Sons of Liberty.
Following this was blue flag with three crcs-
cents, another with two and still another with
one. Washington himself in ITS suggested
white nag with pine tree, and this is only an
other proof that the story of Washingtons coat
OF arms was false. About 1775 striped green
and yellow flag carried by one of the militia
companies In January. 1775 the first red and
white-striped flag was adopted. This was known
as the Cambridge flag. and consisted Of 10 alter
nate red and white stripes with the kings colors
then consisting Of St Andrews and ST. Georges
crosses on blue field.
Later Colonel Gadsen proposed to congress
our first naval flag This was great big yellow
nag. with snake coiled up in the center It
hung over the head of the speaker for some years
and then went out Of existence. Following this
came flags of red and blue stripes and red and
white stripes. each without field and each with
snakes in them. There were pine tree flags
galore There were flags with badgers flags with
anchors; in fact any old thing except St.
Georges cross seemed acceptable to the colonis.s
struggling for light in the darkness. In 1776 the
Rhode Island colony adopted flag OF IL white
stars on a blue field. This is the very first time
stars appeared in the flag.
From the date Of the Declaration of indie
pendence and for year or more afterward the
colonies used almost everything that flies in the
heavens or swims in the water or grows on land
as symbol for their flag. Finally, one bright
day in June, with father and no mother Old
Glory was born. There is not a word or record
of any kind to show who designed the flag. who
presented the resolution. how It ever got into
