33 Star U.S. Flag

On 4 July 1859, this flag became the official flag of the United States after the admission of Oregon on 14 February 1859. The canton contained four rows of seven stars each, separated in the middle by a single row of five stars. This was the flag in use when the southern states began to secede from the Union -- South Carolina the first to do so on 20 December 1860. A new state, Kansas, was admitted to the Union before Fort Sumter was fired upon 12-14 April 1861, but the flag incorporating a star to represent Kansas had not yet become official. Thus, the 33-star flag was the first one fired upon by Confederate forces.
