Best Answer

The 13 stripes on the US flag represent the original 13 states also known as colonies.

Originally, two new stripes as well as stars were added to the flag and the number of each was fixed at 15 from 1795 to 1818, when it was restored to 13.

The red of the stripes is symbolic of the blood shed to make and keep the country free.

It means the 13 colonies of North America's colonies.... Thats why there's 13 stripes on the flag
