What do the US flag mean?

The current US flag was designed shortly after the American Revolution. The red and white stripes, of which there are 13, represent the original 13 colonies. The white stars on a blue background represent the states. The original design was a circle of stars but as states joined the Union this was modified to rows of stars. The current flag has, thus, 50 stars, one for each state.

How are the stripes arranged on the US flag?

There are 13 stripes and 50 stars on the US flag (Old Glory). The stripes represent the 13 original states and the stars represent the number of current states (which has often changed over 200 years).There are 7 red stripes and 6 white ones, so that there is a red one at the top and on the bottom. The first 4 red stripes run only partly across, from the blue field* containing the stars to the opposite edge. The 4th white stripe is the first to span the width of the flag, running below the blue field. This leaves 3 red and 2 white stripes running the full width below it.*The blue field containing that stars is 2/5 the total width of the flag and 7/13ths the height. It contains 5 rows of 6 stars and 4 rows of 5 stars.
