As the colonial forces took on a national aspect it became necessary to provide a national Flag for them. Out of this situation came the Grand Union or Cambridge Flag with its field of thirteen alternate red and white stripes, which symbolized the union of the 13 colonies, and the King's Colors in canton.

Americans first hoisted the Grand Union Flag on the colonial warship Alfred, in the harbor on the western shore of the Delaware River at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 3 December 1775, under the command of the new appointed Lieutenant John Paul Jones of the formative Continental Navy. The Grand Union Flag became obsolete following the passing of the Flag Act of 1777 by the Continental Congress.
