The 13 stars (arranged in a circle) represent the original 13 colonies.
The current design of the American flag, as adopted on July 4, 1960, contains 50 stars, arranged as five rows of six stars and four rows of five stars.
they are straight.

I believe you meant how many stars were on the first US flag. There is no such thing as the American flag. The first US flag was made up of 13 white stars which were arranged in a circle on a blue background. There was also 13 stripes that was alternating red and white.
they are arranged diagonally.

There are no documented 13 star flags in existence so we don't know how the stars were arranged except from period illustrations.Those illustrations show a tremendous variety of star patterns. Flags with circular star patterns have been used and/or proposed continually since 1795 to the present time. So the answer is "from 13 to 50."(I have a 50-star flag where the arrangement of stars is a double circle.) Though I must admit that I have never seen a 49-star flag with the stars arranged in a circle.
There is 50 stars on my flag which is the American flag's number of stars.
Between July 4, 1891 and July 4, 1896, the adoption of a new American flag, there were 44 stars on the flag, after the adoption of Wyoming into the union. The stars are arranged 8 7 7 7 7 8 from top to bottom.
thisis not the real answer. THIS QUESTION IS NOT THE SAME AS "WHY ARE THERE 50 STARS ON THE AMERICAN FLAG?"!!! IF YOU THINK "THE 50 STARS ON THE AMERICAN FLAG ARE _ _ _ _ _" IS THE SAME AS"WHY ARE THERE 50 STARS ON THE AMERICAN FLAG?" YOU ARE STUPID! I REPEAT: STUPID!!!!!
There is no such thing as the American flag, with or without stars.
