Best Answer

The red stripe stands for courage

the white stripe stands for purity

and the 50 stars stands for 50 states

Note that, officially, the colors in the flag do NOT have a specific meaning. Any meaning that people state is one they have given it, and not an "official" meaning.

The stripes (collectively, both red and white) stand for the original 13 colonies that revolted from Great Britain. They are a collective meaning - that is, no specific stripe stands for any specific colony.

The meaning of the stripes in the American flag?

There are 13 stripes on the American flag, which represent the original 13 states. They are alternating red and white - red stripes at the top and bottom of the flag. The blue star field (Union) rests on a white stripe. During the War of 1812 the blue union rested on a red stripe of our 15 stripe flag. This red stripe is often referred to as the "war stripe." Officially, the colors have no official meaning. But, various interpretations of the colors of our flag have been published and promoted by various groups in history.
