Flag of the United States - The Continental Navy raised the Colors as the ensign of the fledgling nation

Time: 1776

Place: U.S.

Details: The Continental Navy raised the Colors as the ensign of the fledgling nation in the American War for Independence—likely with the expedient of transforming their previous British red ensigns by adding white stripes—and would use this flag until 1777, when it would form the basis for the subsequent de jure designs.
