What do the 13 stars the old flag represent?

How were the colors chosen for the confederate flag?

Red, white & blue, same as the Union, although the arrangement was different. The Confederate Navy used a flag similar in geometric design to the Texas state flag or the Union (USA) flag, while the diagonal cross of the Confederate Army "Stars & Bars" bore a slight resemblance to the British "Union Jack," but in color it was the same as the British flag and the Union "Stars & Stripes." * The "Stars & Bars" was intended as a battle flag, but it was never flown by a CSS warship, although the Confederate Army also used the same flag as the Confederate Navy. Since the war, the "Stars & Bars" has been the unofficial flag of the US South. * If the question refers to uniform instead of flag colors, gray is the color of the Confederacy, although some CSA regiments wore blue early in the war, and some USA regiments wore gray. After the first major engagement (First Manassas in the South, First Bull Run in the North), uniform colors were standardized as blue for Union and gray for Confederacy, although Texan soldiers of the Confederacy wore butternut uniforms, a light brown color. Red white and blue.

Is banning the rebel flag going against the first amendment?

Yes, the federal government cannot pass a law that infringes upon a person's right to free speech -- and displaying the confederate flag is a form of free speech. However, a government CAN remove images of the confederate flag from government property (i.e., redesigning state flags that include the stars and bars, etc.) Since the confederate flag has racist connotations, it would not be unreasonable for states to remove the confederate flag from statehouses and other government property. Private citizens could still fly the confederate flag exactly the same way that they are still allowed to display swastikas without government interference.
