Star Spangled Banner is a 15 star flag. This Star Spangled flag is cotton and has embroidered stars and sewn stripes and finished with canvas header and brass grommets. Shortly before the War of 1812, two new states (KY, VT 1795 - 1818) were added to the Union and a flag consisting of 15 stars and 15 stripes was created. This Star Spangled Banner flying over Fort McHenry in Baltimore during a British naval bombardment, inspired Francis Scott Key to compose what later became our National Anthem.
