Congress passed a law returning the flag back to its original design of 13 stripes, fearing that too many stripes would spoil the true design of the flag

The Flag Act of 1818 addresses the confusion over the addition of new states and their designation on the American flag. The original 13 colonies would remain as the 13 stripes on the flag, while each new state will be represented as a white star. Hope this helps :) (Brainliest please?)
