The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 U.S. states and the 13 stripes represent the original Thirteen Colonies that rebelled against the British crown and became the first states in the Union. Nicknames for the flag include "the Stars and Stripes" and "Old Glory".

Because of its symbolism, the starred blue canton is called the "union".

Originally The U.S flag was thirteen stars, thirteen stripes, when States 14 and 15 were added flag briefly went to 15 stripes and stars, this was later dropped back to the original 13 stripes.
The flag often wrongly called the rebel flag is actually the CSA's Naval ensign, a square version was used as an Army designator by the Army of Northern Virginia. The CSA flag had three blocks that from a distance resembled the US flag.

(You didnt specify which America)
