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.
It is widely known that the 50 stars on the flag of the United States represent the states themselves. When the Stars and Stripes was adopted in 1777 there were 13 states (then colonies), thus a 13-star flag, and as each new state was admitted to the union a star was added to the flag.
