Graphical History of the American Flag

Another great Independence Day find from Mike Wirth, courtesy of Cool Infographics.

A great infographic for America’s Independence Day from Mike Wirth. The graphical history of the American Flag shows a circular timeline of when changes were made over the years and when stars were added. I love additional information Mike included like the official folding pattern and the state each star represents by showing them chronologically. Makes a great poster!
