Mention the Articles of Confederation to most young folks, and I'd guess a not small percentage of teachers and I'd bet you'd get a "huh??". Throw in Presidents under them before the Constitution, well you're just asking for confusion....

I mentioned once to my nieces that I was born under a 48 star flag in the 50s, they had no idea that there hadn't always been 50 and thought I was mistaken. Did the state quarters for them so they had some idea that the union was formed gradually over time.

Like you, there were 48 states when I was born. My father in law (now deceased) was born when there were 46 states. New Mexico and Arizona became states 4 years after he was born.

I'm pretty sure Tom still has his first flag packed away somewhere - the one with 13 stars in a circle. (Ducks and runs from room)
Not this one

Huzzah for Peyton Randolph and all those who followed.
Back in 05 my mom bought a new house and in one of the front closets we found a 48 star flag. She still hangs that one out and I don't think many people have caught the difference.
