Who is Betsy in the phrase Heavens to Betsy?
Various theories have been put forward but it is unlikely that she will ever be properly identified . Some have tried to trace it to the Revolutionary War and to Betsy Ross but have failed ; others think it may have something to do with the frontiersman's rifle which was often referred to as Old Betsy .

Why did they chose to put stars and stripes on the flag?
Each star represents a state in the Union. 50 states, ergo, 50 stars...and if I'm not mistaken, the 13 stripes on the flag represent the 13 original colonies that made up the newly formed United States of America after the Revolutionary War.The 50 stars currently on the American flag represent the 50 states. The pattern and number of stars has changed since the independence of America, and even before then the flag had stars.

Why are there two dates on the NC flag?
There are two dates on the flag because the person who designed the flag had put the date that he or she had finished it on, then when that person wanted to make a change to the flag he or she put the date that they finished it on again on the new flag.
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.
When did the flag have circles of stars?
The first official flag of the United States, known as the Betsy Ross flag, featured thirteen red and white stripes and a ring of 13 stars to represent the original thirteen colonies (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island). This flag was put into use officially on June 14, 1777 with the Flag Resolution of 1977 (This date is now celebrated as Flag Day). It was used until 1795, when the flag was updated to include two more stars for Kentucky and Vermont.
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.
