The American flag features 13 stripes to represent the original 13 colonies that declared independence from Great Britain in 1776. These colonies are Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. The stripes alternate between red and white, symbolizing valor and purity, respectively. The flag also includes a blue field with stars, representing the states of the union.
