Elizabeth ( Betsy) Ross is generally credited with the design of the l3-star in a circular pattern ( hence the name of the Cruiser Constellation of l797) American Flag. There is a museum in her honor in Philadelphia. I assume you mean Betsy Ross. There was a patriotic organization of women called the Betsy Ross Corps or Betsy Ross League in the late thirties. Obviously this was a posthumous honor- but was a flag-oriented organization.

What job did Betsy Ross do?
The story of Ross making the first flag is not true. It began with her grandson and has continued. Congress gave credit to the design of the first flag to Francis Hopkinson and the first flag was a navy flag made in 1776. It was a British Union flag divided by white stripes and our second flag put stars in the box where the British had a cross. The colors do not mean anything despite the Boy Scout Handbook stating that they do have meaning.
How else did Betsy Ross influence America?
Betsy Ross didn't influence America. The story of her making the first flag was made up by her grandson and she didn't have anything to do with the selection of the design or colors. If anyone is responsible for designing the flag it is Francis Hopkinson who was given credit by Congress for having done so. Our flag came about through two modifications of the British Union flag which included a red, white, and blue cross on the corner square on a solid red field. Our first flag was commissioned for the navy in 1776 and was a basic British Union flag divided by white stripes. Our second flag, the Stars and Stripes, put stars for the cross in the corner square. The red, white, and blue were derivative. They did not come from Washington's family crest and do not mean anything contrary to the Boy Scout handbook. No, Betsy did make the flag, and it was kind of like an awakening signal for women everywhere. It told women that they could make an influence on history and that they could helpp the world.
Where was the flag made in?
Of course there are many different flags that originated in many different places. If you mean the national flag of the United States, there is a story that it was first made by Betsy Ross in her shop in Philadelphia, but nobody has proved that. Mrs. Ross did make some flags for navy ships, and there are receipts for the payment.
