A Historical Flag with a Rich Legacy:

The Grand Union Flag holds a special place in American history, serving as a powerful symbol of the nation’s struggle for independence. Did you know that this flag was an alteration of the British Meteor flag, with the blue canton featuring the red cross of St. George and the white cross of St. Andrew? This design element retained the British Union, indicating a continued loyalty to the constitutional government against which they fought. The 13 stripes, representing the original colonies, would later become a defining feature of the American flag we know today.
