Description: 45-Star United States Flag - EMBOSSED & GILDED - "Conquer We Must" Poem - 1909: The Stars and Stripes changed on May 1, 1795, when Congress enacted the second Flag Resolution, which mandated that new stars and stripes be added to the flag when new states were admitted to the Union. The first two new states were Vermont (1791) and Kentucky (1792). (One such flag was the 1,260-square-foot [117-square-metre] “Star-Spangled Banner,” made by Mary Pickersgill, that Francis Scott Key saw at Fort McHenry in September 1814, which inspired him to write the patriotic poem that later supplied the lyrics of the national anthem.) In 1818, after five more states had been admitted, Congress enacted the third and last Flag Resolution, requiring that henceforth the number of stripes should remain 13, the number of stars should always match the number of states, and any new star should be added on the July 4 following a state’s admission. This has been the system ever since. By the day of the making of this card,45 states were in the Union, the states of Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii had not yet been admitted. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1909, is in good condition.
