Traditionally, colors on flags have been used to represent the political aspirations and tendencies of an era. The strong symbolism behind colors is seen when considering the black, white and red of the National Socialist Party of Germany - where red represented nationalism. However the red on the American flag reflects the goal of being a social democracy. The white of the flag typically represents purity and hope, but also often represents Christianity or the absolution of monarchic rule.
Of course, the 13 stripes of the US flag represent the original colonies that became the first states to declare independence. It was these states, minus Georgia, that convened for the First Continental Congress. Subsequent states accepted to the union were, eventually, represented on the flag by an additional star.
