Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unfolding of Old Glory The flag of a nation plays an important part in its history. Moreover, even the slightest change in a nation´s flag is often an historical milestone. This is as true of the history of the United States as of any other country. The United States, as a nation, is a daughter of Great Britain. The national flag of the United States was therefore naturally derived from the flag of the mother country. Our flag is a growth rather than a creation - its process of evolution had its beginning in the early part of the seventeenth century and its last unfolding was in 1912. Before we became an independent nation, we were thirteen British colonies (Massachusetts Bay, Rhodeisland and Providence Plantations, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia) which banded together in 1774 as the United Colonies of America. On July 4, 1776, the United Colonies of America declared that they were free and independent States, the United States of America. The mainland of the continent of North America was discovered in the year 1000 A. D. by Leif Erickson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
