Today we’re asking about another name for the flag of the United States. As you probably know, it has 13 red and white stripes, representing the original colonies, and a blue field with 50 white stars, representing the states. The flag was first flown on June 14, 1777 and has undergone several changes since then. It is customary to sing the American national anthem and to stand and place your hand on your heart during the raising or lowering of the flag.
We also have another historical quiz question in the daily quiz of January 14, 2026, so we want you to tell us which city Wallenstein tried to take by siege during the Thirty Years’ War in 1628.

Let’s stick with history, but move forward almost 150 years: what is the name of a ship on which a famous mutiny took place in 1789 under Lieutenant William Bligh?
