Amerikal\u0131lar onlarca y\u0131ld\u0131r 1812 Sava\u015f\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda Francis Scott Key’in y\u00fcrekleri co\u015fturan mar\u015f\u0131na ilham veren bayrak olan ikonik Y\u0131ld\u0131zl\u0131 Bayrak’\u0131n par\u00e7alar\u0131n\u0131 talep ettiler. Bu par\u00e7alar, Amerikan tarihinin \u00f6nemli bir an\u0131na somut bir ba\u011flant\u0131 sunarak de\u011ferli hat\u0131ralar haline geldi.<\/p>\n\n
Zengin bireyler, tarih dernekleri ve hatta ev personeli bayra\u011f\u0131n par\u00e7alar\u0131n\u0131 hevesle arad\u0131. Massachusetts, Worcester’daki en zengin adamlardan biri olan Stephen Salisbury II, koleksiyonunda k\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 ve beyaz par\u00e7alar\u0131yla e\u015fle\u015fen mavi bir par\u00e7a olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in yak\u0131nm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.

Y\u0131ld\u0131zl\u0131 Bayrak’tan par\u00e7a kesme yayg\u0131n uygulamas\u0131, bayra\u011f\u0131n boyutunu kademeli olarak azaltt\u0131. National Museum of American History’de sergilenen bayrak, orijinalinden \u00f6nemli \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fcde daha k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fckt\u00fcr ve orijinal alan\u0131n\u0131n yakla\u015f\u0131k y\u00fczde 20’si kaybolmu\u015ftur.<\/p>\n\n

1800’lerin sonlar\u0131nda Y\u0131ld\u0131zl\u0131 Bayrak’\u0131n bir par\u00e7as\u0131na sahip olmak, de\u011ferli bir t\u0131ls\u0131ma sahip olmaya benziyordu. Ulusun kahramanl\u0131k ge\u00e7mi\u015fine ve kimli\u011fini \u015fekillendiren de\u011ferlere bir ba\u011flant\u0131y\u0131 simgeliyordu.<\/p>\n\n
