The cobra chickens have been awoken! Canada will stand together!
In case anyone’s curious, the number of stripes and orientation (bottom is red) are correct to the flag.
Was it 13 stripes for the original 13 colonies or am I hallucinating?
Correct.
The early flag from the post-revolutionary War (Betsy Ross flag) had 13 stripes, indicating the separated colonies, and the blue square contained 13 stars in a circle orientation, indicating the new united colonies in one “circle”. We then changed the stars to a square pattern and added stars as we added additional states.
Look at you, speakin’ French and stuff! /s
