The Garfield and Arthur flag mentioned above has 39
stars. This is probably the most discussed of the various flags that never
were. Dave Martucci opined that they were made in large numbers in expectation
that Dakota Territory would be admitted as a state in time for the centennial
celebration in 1876. In fact no more states were admitted until 1889-1890, when
five were admitted in a rush, increasing the number of stars from 38 to 43. So,
did someone think that Dakota was about to be admitted -- again -- in the
presidential election year of 1880, and make a new flag for the occasion, or
reuse a flag four years old?
