What does the american flag stand for?

The flag of the United States of America - known as the Stars and Stripes, Old Glory and the Star-Spangled Banner - consists of thirteen horizontal stripes of equal size, seven red and six alternating white, and a blue rectangle in the sector of the upper left corner with fifty white five-pointed stars. The bars represent the original Thirteen Colonies that became independent from the United Kingdom and the stars, the fifty states that make up the Union. It has a great similarity with the flag of the British East India Company, from which was possibly inspired.

The American flag is a symbol of democracy, liberty and freedom all around the world, thanks to the American involvement in defending human rights and freedom since its creation as a nation.
