There are 13 stripes on the American Flag. There are 7 red stripes and 6 white stripes. I believe the stripes have more than one meaning. One being that the 13 stripes represent the 13 original colonies.
From 1794 until 1817, at least 4 more states had been added to the country. The flag, however, stayed the same until 1818 when Congress decided that the flag should have 13 stripes to honor the 13 original colonies and a white star to represent each state in the Union. What Do The Colors Of The American Flag Mean? Today, the flag continues to carry the 13 red and white alternating stripes and now displays 50 white, 5-pointed stars against a blue background, representing the 50 states.
