The white on the American flag represents Purity And Innocence, but it also represents separation from the mother country (in this case red, or Great Britain). That is why it alternates between red and white. the thirteen (13) stripes, as you probably know is the 13 colonies separating together.

∙ 14y agoMany people assume that the colors of the US Flag had specific meanings or stood for some characteristic. The red, white, and blue had no meanings at all when the Stars and Stripes were adopted as our national flag in 1777. But, the colors did have meaning when the Great Seal of the United States was developed. White meant purity and innocence, Red meant heardiness and valour, and Blue meant vigilance and justice, according to the Secretary of the Continental Congress, Charles Thompson, when he reported on the Great Seal to Congress.
