The circle of thirteen stars whose perfect union announced to the world that a new constellation had risen in the firmament of nations.
Betsy Ross Flag — the Stars and Stripes of thirteen stars arranged in a circle on a field of blue, thirteen alternating red and white stripes flowing beneath, the flag that tradition attributes to the Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross who according to family legend sewed the first version at the request of a committee including George Washington in the spring of 1776, a banner whose circular arrangement of stars — each five-pointed star cut with a single scissor snip by Ross's demonstration of practical genius — expressed in its perfect democratic geometry the founding ideal of thirteen states equal in dignity and united in purpose, no star above another, all arranged in the ancient symbol of wholeness and continuity. The Betsy Ross Flag — whose adoption by the Continental Congress in the Flag Resolution of June 14, 1777, establishing that the flag of the United States shall have thirteen stripes alternating red and white and thirteen stars white on a blue field representing a new constellation, gave the newborn republic its first official national symbol and set in motion the living tradition of the American flag whose stars would multiply with every new state admitted to the union until the fifty-star banner of today, whose image has become across two and a half centuries of American history one of the most recognizable and emotionally resonant symbols in the world — carries in its circle of thirteen stars the memory of the founding moment when thirteen former colonies, having declared their independence and fought for it with blood and sacrifice, looked up at the night sky and saw in the stars a mirror of their own improbable, magnificent union, a new constellation that the world had never seen before and would never forget.
