They symbolize the first 13 states of the United States
In the first flag for the what became the United States, there were 13 stars, one for each of the 13 American colonies.
The first flag of the United States of America had "13 stars, white on a field of blue representing a new constellation." The 13 stars actually represented the first 13 states of our new nation in 1776. But, our first flag did not show up until June 14th 1777 when the Continental Congress specified the flag to be used on our ships of war during the Revolutionary War (the War of Independence) against Great Britain.
New England, to symbolize the first 13 colonies while the United States was been formed
The agreement made by the original 13 states in 1777 establishing a confederacy to be known as the United States of America; replaced by the Constitution of 1788, the first constitution of the 13 American states, adopted in 1781 and replaced in 1789 by the Constitution of the United States.
The first 13 colonies became states with the end of the Revolutionary War and the Articles of Confederation. They did NOT consider themselves to be "United States" since they saw themselves as individual locations. It wasn't until 1789 with the Constitution that they were "united" as states. So, they called themselves "Colonies" and then "United States".
