Each star represents a state in the Union. 50 states, ergo, 50 stars...and if I'm not mistaken, the 13 stripes on the flag represent the 13 original colonies that made up the newly formed United States of America after the Revolutionary War.
The 50 stars currently on the American flag represent the 50 states. The pattern and number of stars has changed since the independence of America, and even before then the flag had stars.
The stars on the flag represent the heavens, purity, and goodness and it can stand for a new state that joins the union.
because stars were their favorite shape and stripes looked cool next to the stars.
will dear! its true that each stars on the us flag represent a particular state of united stats of America.....ok

Stripes on the flag?
The stripes mean the 1st 13 STATES. some people say they represent the the 13 colonies, but they are wrong. If you think about it, the 13 colonies were ruled by Britan and why would we want to put something British on the American flag? We were trying to break free from british rule so we wouldn't want to put something British on the U.S. flag. The red stripes mean courage and the white mean bravery. THE RED DOESN'T MEAN BLOOD AT ALL!

When did the flag have circles of stars?
The first official flag of the United States, known as the Betsy Ross flag, featured thirteen red and white stripes and a ring of 13 stars to represent the original thirteen colonies (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island). This flag was put into use officially on June 14, 1777 with the Flag Resolution of 1977 (This date is now celebrated as Flag Day). It was used until 1795, when the flag was updated to include two more stars for Kentucky and Vermont.
What job did Betsy Ross do?
The story of Ross making the first flag is not true. It began with her grandson and has continued. Congress gave credit to the design of the first flag to Francis Hopkinson and the first flag was a navy flag made in 1776. It was a British Union flag divided by white stripes and our second flag put stars in the box where the British had a cross. The colors do not mean anything despite the Boy Scout Handbook stating that they do have meaning.

How else did Betsy Ross influence America?
Betsy Ross didn't influence America. The story of her making the first flag was made up by her grandson and she didn't have anything to do with the selection of the design or colors. If anyone is responsible for designing the flag it is Francis Hopkinson who was given credit by Congress for having done so. Our flag came about through two modifications of the British Union flag which included a red, white, and blue cross on the corner square on a solid red field. Our first flag was commissioned for the navy in 1776 and was a basic British Union flag divided by white stripes. Our second flag, the Stars and Stripes, put stars for the cross in the corner square. The red, white, and blue were derivative. They did not come from Washington's family crest and do not mean anything contrary to the Boy Scout handbook. No, Betsy did make the flag, and it was kind of like an awakening signal for women everywhere. It told women that they could make an influence on history and that they could helpp the world.
When were 50 stars put on the American flag?
