The debate remains on who made the first flag for the United States. I think that Betsy Ross made the flag and here is a few reasons why. Her daughter wrote about her making the flag and about how she worked on it. George Washington was on the new flag committee and already knew Betsy Ross because she did some sewing for him, so it may have made him think of her to sew the flag. She also had a upholstery and sewing shop so it would also make sense for George Washington to think of her. Her first husband was in the Pennsylvania militia and died serving his country and so George Washington knew that she would want to be a patriot and make America a flag. It also says the design by Francis Hopkinson was changed by Betsy Ross so it would make her even more likely to have made the flag. When she changed it she added the five point star, made the stars in a circle, and made it into a rectangular shape instead of a square. This is my opinion on why Betsy Ross made the flag.
