Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Link<br/><br/>The canton or upper left comer of the altered British ?ag was left with the red cross of St. George and the white cross of St. Andrew. This flag looked almost exactly like that of the British East India Company whose tea had been tossed into Boston Harbor a few years earlier. Washington, as Commander-in Chief of the Continental fighting forces, asked Congress many times for a new ?ag for his regiments on land and the ?eet at sea. But that body was too busy to supply them immediately, even though the Navy was in special need Of a different flag to distinguish our-ships on the ocean and in foreign ports.
