In 1795, two more states jointed the Union. They were Kentucky and Vermont. The United States flag added two more stars and two more stripes, thus being the only United States flag with fifteen stripes. In 1818, Congress proclaimed that one star for each new state would be added on the 4th of July following the state's admission to the union and there would be thirteen stripes representing the thirteen original colonies.
