Description

Born in Philadelphia, Betsy Ross lived during a time when American colonists yearned for independence from British rule. Ross worked as a seamstress and was eager to contribute to the cause. She mended tents and repaired uniforms when the colonies declared war. By 1779 she was filling cartridges for the Continental Army. Often credited with sewing the first American flag, Betsy Ross exemplifies the true spirit of American patriotism. Born the eighth of seventeen children in Philadelphia, Betsy Ross lived in a time when the American colonies were yearning for independence from British rule. Ross worked as a seamstress and was eager to contribute to the cause, making tents and repairing uniforms when the colonies declared war. By 1779 she was filling cartridges for the Continental Army. Did she sew the first flag? That's up for debate, butWho Was Betsy Ross?tells the story of a fierce patriot who certainly helped create the flag of a new nation.
