Grand Union Flags |
|
The famed "Grand Union" flag hoisted near Washington's headquarters at Cambridge on January 2, 1776 turned out to be similar to same flag the East India Company had used , on the other side of the world since 1701. The design is essentially a red ensign (minus the X of St. Patrick at that time) with the red field divided into 13 red-and-white stripes: the same pattern as the later United States flag, once the canton changed to "a new constellation".
