1. 5 out of 10, 50%F
ReplyDelete2. That the U.S Flag can never be worn as clothing. I have heard that the Flag cannot be on the ground. But it is very odd that they would make up a rule like that. Why would anyone really wear the flag as clothing? I don't know!
3. Question 1: The First Official Flag Had:
13 stars and 13 stripes.
4. I think that the colors should be different. As far as I know, the American Flag has always been red, white, and blue. I think America should "step outside the box" and go for some pinks or purples or baby blues.
1. My score was 5 out of 5 or 50%.
ReplyDelete2. That it can be flown at night.
3. That the first offical flag was not the "Don't tread on me" flag.
4. Make it so that instead of having a box of the stars with the blue part, have it so the strips are the colors red, white and blue and in the blue sections are the stars. That would be a good idea now wouldn't it?
1. 6 right, 4 wrong.
ReplyDelete2. The thirteen stripes represented England and Liberty.
3. That the first official flag didn't say "don't tread on me"
4. Why not make it 50 stripes instead of 13 to represent the 50 states?

How Many strips are on the flag,and how many are red.

ReplyDelete2.that it was named "old glory" and the "stars and stripes"
3.that the flag had only thirteen stars on the flag
4.because it only had 13 stars and now it has 50 stars on the flag
I got 5 out of 5.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was amazing that there is no actual recording of the real colors of the flag.Of course, it may be incorrect since you can't believe everything you read and hear or you would be gullible. I got the question "Who made the first flag design". I said Hopkins. I would not make any changes because it is a good representation of the country even though our country is starting to and already is drifting away from what it once believed.
