II am not a citizen of the USA, but I know from British /American history. If you are talking of 'Old Glory' , the flag of the USA, then the thirteen stripes in the flag, represent the original thirteen states at the Declaration of Independence, (1776).

The original thirteen states were Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusets, Connecticut, New Yorl, New Jery, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia Carolina.

The stars represent the modern 50 states of the Union.

Each state in the Union has its own flag too!!!!

In Great Britain, the 'Union Jack' is an integration of the flags of the three patron saints of Great Britain,

St George(England) White flag, Red perpendicular cross.

St Andrew (Scotaldn) Blue Flag, White Diagonal Cross

St Patrick ( Northern_ Ireland) White Flag, Red Diagonal Cross.

Do not confuse St Patrick's flag with Modern Irish tricolour of Orange, white and Green.
