The flag flown today is patterned, colored and proportioned according to 1912 government specifications, with a white star for each state. The original version had 13 stars - 1 for each of the original colonies.
The Political Significance and History of ColoursThe red on the American flag reflects the goal of being a social democracy, while the white of the flag typically represents purity and hope, but also often represents Christianity or the absolution of monarchic rule.
Blue was a colour of much history, having been used by the old Tory Party in Britain, who arose out of opposition to the oligarchic Whig Party. Blue has been the colour of liberalism and conservatism, but the Tory Party that were touting this blue had sought to strengthen its ties with the Church of England (Non-Catholic Christianity). The earliest North American settlers were seeking a land free of oppression and dictatorial government, but also retained their sentimental and gentlemanly affection towards their British counterparts, thus adopting this highly evocative colour.
