Betsy Ross

Betsy Ross stitched the first American Flag.

The Betsy Ross story is a family legend that was unknown until nearly a century after Congress adopted the 13-star and 13-stripe flag. Ms Ross is known to have made flags, but her connection with sewing the very first flag of stars and strips is an undocumented myth. She was one of a number of flagmakers in Philadelphia at the time and may have been the one with the most family connections, but it wasn't until 1870 that her grandson made the claim that Betsy met with George Washington, made design suggestions, and sewed the first flag.

No she was a tailor. By the way she did not make the first flag. The whole story was made up by her grandson. Nor did she have anything to do with the selection of the design or colors. If anybody was responsible for designing the flag it was probably Francis Hopkins who was given credit by Congress for having done so.

Although the colonies had many different flags in the early days of the revolution, Betsy Ross lays claim to the stars and stripes. Her design was so simple and powerful that it was universally adopted.

She got the credit for creating the first American flag.

she was poor then she was rich but then she was poor but then she was rich again in the end of the book i read it said she got 5 pounds of money so yah.

She married a son of an episcopal assistant and got banded from her family

She didn't make the flag. This is a story her grandson made up in 1870. Congress gives credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the flag. The first flag was made for the navy in 1776 and it was a basic British flag with stripes. The second flag had stars where the British flag had a cross.

She was a seamstress.

Betsy Ross finished school when she was 12 years old.

She attended the Friends public school and then was apprenticed to a local upholsterer. Apprenticeship usually began about 10-12 years old and lasted for 7 years. While an apprentice she met John Ross who was also an apprentice with the same person.. In 1773 at 21 years old she and Ross eloped.

There is a popular legend that attributes a statement to Betsy Ross regarding the American flag. According to the legend, Betsy Ross reportedly said, " whether it happened so or not. But I know that it was right to make the flag. The Lord has prospered me in my work." However, it is important to note that the accuracy of this quote and the overall story surrounding Betsy Ross's involvement in creating the American flag is still a subject of debate among historians.

This is another American fable about our history. Ross did not make the flag nor did Washington design it. Her grandson made up the story and has come to us as truth. Congress gives credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the first flag for the navy in 1776. It was a basic British Union flag with stripes and our second flag replaced the cross on the British flag with stars. The colors do not stand for anything contrary to the Boy Scout handbook.
