How many stars and stripes were on the first flag?

I don't know anything about the first flag, but I know that the first U. S. flag had thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. After the U. S. annexed the Republic of Vermont, Kentucky separated from Virginia, and both were admitted as new states, the U. S. adopted a flag with fifteen stars and fifteen stripes. Congress then passed a law to keep the number of stripes at thirteen in honor of the original thirteen colonies/ states.

What does the rebel flag symbolize?

The "rebel flag" is the red flag with the blue X crosss with 13 stars. The 13 stars represent the 13 confederate states. This was also called the battle flag for the Stars and Bars as it was the flag used in battle to identify the regiment. They also carried the Confederate States National flag, which underwent 3 different designs---one of which included the Stars & Bars in the corner. Today the Rebel Flag has become to symbolize Southern heritage, people who want to party, anti-establishment, Klu Klux Klan, motorcycle gangs, SkinHeads and a many other rebellious causes. If you look up KKK photos of the 50's and 60' you wil see NO Confederate Flags present. Only the American flag was carried until the klan was abolished. The new klan is not the same as it was in the past. The original KKK was mostly Northern men from Ohio and Indiana and I hear a lot of klaverns still exist there. During the 1920's, the Klan was a large organization that politicians could not ignore. Most of the members were from the northern states.
