During the 1861 to 1865 Civil War there were, and still are, 13 stripes on the American flag: 6 white and 7 red stripes.

When Vermont and Kentucky joined the US, two stars and two stripes were added to our first flag that had 13 stars and 13 stripes as specified in the flag resolution of June 14, 1777. This 15 star and 15 stripe flag, known as our "Star Spangled Banner," was made famous in the War of 1812 with the British. Francis Scott Key wrote a poem describing what he saw during the night-long battle - "In Defense of Fort M'Henry" - which later became the words to our National Anthem.
There are "official" flags of the United States. The Flag Act of 1794 increased the number of stars and stripes to 15 each from 13 each (accommodating the addition of Vermont and Kentucky). This was the only official flag to have more than 13 stripes. The Flag Act of 1818 would later reduce the number of stripes to 13. Vermont and Kentucky were added as states in 1791 and 1792, respectively, but the flag was not changed to reflect those additions until 1794. After 1794, the flag would not reflect the additions of Tennessee (1796), Ohio (1803), and Louisiana (1812) until the Flag Act of 1818.
