13 States Group Flag Chart



Since the Original 13 Colonies had their own flag, it's only fair that each additional 13 states get their own Betsy Ross type of flag.  Here are three more flags for the other states that were not a part of the Original 13.   These flags have the distinction as the New, Newer and Newest 13 states.

A US Flag for the Last Group of 13 States from the Dakotas until Hawaii - USA PART IV (1889-NOW) THE NEWEST 13


This flag is based upon the Legendary Betsy Ross Flag.  Although Betsy's claims may be less than original, Ms. Ross was a part of the first group of pre-official flag manufactures to make flags from that era, before June 14, 1777, and help the Revolutionary Cause.

Although only 13 states should have the right to fly this flag either North Dakota or South Dakota can fly this flag since the order of their entry is unknown.  When President Benjamin Harrison signed them into official status November 2, 1889 as virtual twins, he purposely singed them without knowing who'd be the 39th or 40th state.  So either Dakota can fly this flag.  Thus all the states to enter the union after the Dakota Twins can fly this flag: Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii.  There is still room for three more states to fly this flag so unofficially it can be flown on Washington DC, Puerto Rico and Guam.

The flag has a red canton with thirteen white stars and four red stripes, three blue stripes, and six white stripes. The blue stripes denote states with a coastline: Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii.  The red stripes denote states on the inside of America that do not have an international border: Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. 

A US Flag for the Third Next 13 Group of States from Florida to the Dakotas - USA PART III (1845-1889) THE NEWER 13

This flag is based upon the Legendary Betsy Ross Flag.  Although Betsy's claims may be less than original, Ms. Ross was definitely a part of the first of American Women to sew flags from that era and help the Revolutionary Cause.

This flag is for the next 13 states that joined the union after the first two groups of 13.  Thus the states of Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wiscosin, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, West Virgina, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, and either Dakota can fly this flag. 

Although only 13 states should have the right to fly this flag either North Dakota or South Dakota can fly this flag since the order of their entry is unknown.  When President Benjamin Harrison signed them in on November 2, 1889 he purposely singed them in without know'n who'd be the 39th or 40th state.  So both Dakotas can fly this flag.

This flag has a white canton with 13 blue stars to represent the third group of 13 states, the twenty-sixth state unto the thirty-ninth state, and four white stripes, three red stripes, and six blue stripes.

The six blue stripes denote states that have a coast line: Florida, Texas, California, Oregon, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The three red stripes denote the three states born during the Civil War-Secession: Kansas, West Virginia, and Nevada. The four white stripes denote the other northern states: Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, and either Dakota.

A US Flag for the Next 13 Group of States from Vermont to Michigan - USA PART II (1791-1844) THE NEW 13


Since the original 13 Colonies have their own flag, it is high time that other states get their own flag.  In this case the next group of 13 states have a right to fly this flag.  The states that entered the union from Vermont to Michigan.  Thus this flag represent the Next 13: Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri, and Arkansas have the right to fly this flag anytime anywhere.  It is also a temporal flag representing the time frame from January 1, 1791 until December 31, 1844. 

This flag is based upon the Legendary Betsy Ross Flag.  It has 8 red stripes and 7 blue stripes.  The canton is blue and there are 13 stars for the subsequent states that joined the union from Vermont in 1791 unto Michigan an 1836.

 The seven red stripes denote the southern states that were born in bondage while the blue stripes denote the northern states that were born free.

Flash Flag from Flash Rebirth as illustrated by Ethan Van Sciver 2011



A flag on top of the dome of the Flash Museum features a flash flag.  It has red background with the Flash insignia in the upper right hand corner.  Red flags are usually not so American Patriotic, but only if it has the Flash icon upon it, it seems rightfully to chant USA, USA, USA!  Besides the Flash Flag, the livery colours of the Flash can be seen on streamer pennants of red and yellow.

This scene was taken from Flash Rebirth 2009 and wonderfully illustrated with exquisite detail by Ethan Van Sciver and a nacho supreme story written by Geoff Johns about the amazing return of the Heroic Flash - Barry Allen - who 'died' in 1985.
