Myth: Ms. Betty Ross...She changed the original six points of the flag to five. May 1776 was when she was recognized for sewing the first American flag.

The original flag of the United States of America was authorized by Congress on June 14th, 1777, to specify a flag to be flown on ships of the United States. The very first flag was probably designed by Francis Hopkinson who participated in the design of the Great Seal of the United States. His flag design featured 13 six-pointed stars in a 3-2-3-2-3 pattern.
