      13 original colonies.  Originally Betsy Ross made the flag with 13 stars in a circle as well as 13 stripes.  We modified the stars to represent each state, but kept the 13 stripes because we still wanted to represent the 13 original colonies.  I know because i did a long extensive paper on it.  Thank you for helping me put useless knowledge to use!  Lol!
