Did you know that on the 3rd day of December 1775, throughout the preeminent year of the American Revolutionary War, a flag was necessitated to portray the Congress and fledgeling nation?

I was known as the "Grand Union Flag." It was 245 years ago now, and this one being one of the first representations of the United States cruised from the trunk of an American Warship in insurgence to the British Empire.

At the event, the 13 distinct Nations handled their individual flags, sometimes even several units within the Colonies resisted under separate flags. Notwithstanding, it is ascertained that the Grand Union Flag was the first formally acknowledged banner for both sea and land forces.

In 1777, it was replaced by the flag of 13 stars and 13 stripes.
