How many red and white stripes are on the United States flag?
National flag of the USA consists of white stars (50 since July 4, 1960) on a blue canton with a field of 13 alternating stripes, 7 red and 6 white. The 50 stars stand for the 50 states of the union, and the 13 stripes stand for the original 13 states. Officially the red stripes signify valor and bravery, while the white stripes symbolize purity and innocence.

Remember people, anyone from around the world can answer these questions. You only get bragging rights if you are not American.

Laurie Johnson Gonzalez, Actually, taking into consideration how screwed up American schools are, you should get extra credit for getting it right while NOT being American. American schools with common core haven't been teaching much actual history for years now.

Jaclyn Rae Glicken, If you think the "regime" we have now is evil, etc. it won't compare to the evil regime we will have if the other party wins the election.

howmnsk, Yes. Good comment. But the founding fathers had very good intentions and we, the voters should continue to keep trying tor the purity. Innocence? Maybe not. but experience and good thinking skills.
