number of colonies, and the idea was
to add a stripe and a star whenever a
new state was added to the Union that
they expected to perfect. The idea
seemed to be feasible then, for 1t must
be remembered that colonial dominion
reached westward only to the Missis-
sippi and south only to the northern
boundary Of Florida. A flag could have
easily accommodated all the stripes
and stars that might grow from that
territory.
Restored to Thirteen Stripes.
When Kentucky and Vermont came
into the Union in 1874 the number of
stars and stripes were increased to if
teen. When other states began grow
ing out of the acquired territory of the
west and south the flag began to grow
out of proportion and lost it's historical
significance. In 1918 congress voted
that the number of stripes should be
restored to thirteen and always so re-
main, to typify the colonies that bought
the independence of the nation, while
the stars should stand for the states
of the Union. The act also decreed
that a star for each state should be
added on the Fourth Of July following
the admission of the state.
