So he cut down the stripes to thirteen. and added stars to one corner of the flag and soon, threre were fifty stars for the fifty states, and thirteen stripes for the thirteen orginal colonies which became the first states. Joy was everywhere when the 50th star was added for Hawaii. Since then, the American flag has never changed.
