The stars on the flag represent the 50 states, and the 13 stripes represent the original thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British.

Although it's very romantic to think of the red stripes to signify the blood shed by the patriots or Indians or whoever else, the red is just part of the 13 stripes which represent the original thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British. They hold same significance as the white.
