🇺🇸 September 9, 1776 — A New Nation Gets Its Name

Two months after declaring independence, the Continental Congress formally resolved that the designation “United Colonies” be replaced by “United States” in all commissions and other instruments.

The name “United States of America” had already appeared in the Declaration of Independence, and it would later be enshrined in the Articles of Confederation: “The Stile of this confederacy shall be ‘The United States of America.’”

The traditional account of Betsy Ross creating the first American flag dates the event to 1777, as our nation quickly developed its identity.

Painting: Betsy Ross, John Ward Dunsmore, 1920.

On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved people in America learned they were free. Though the Civil War had ended months before, the news had not yet reached Galveston, Texas. That day, now commemorated as Juneteenth, became a significant date in American history.

The founding ideals of this nation, liberty, equality, and freedom for all, have always been a promise of progress. Juneteenth represents a turning point in America's journey to fulfill them, and a reminder that the work of each generation is to bring those ideals closer to reality.

DAR honors that history and the countless Americans whose courage and perseverance helped carry this nation toward a more perfect union.

Illuminating The Flag of the United States on Flag Day!

The history of the United States flag dates to the American Revolution. Today, the U.S. flag is a powerful national symbol of unity, freedom, and history. June 14 is celebrated as Flag Day in honor of its adoption.

In 1777, the first official flag, known as the Stars and Stripes, was adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14. It had 13 stars and 13 stripes representing the original colonies.
