Creator of our flag I say there are are 5 pointed stars! And what I say goes!

How She Started Betsy went to a Quaker school and received a formal education. She became an apprentice for a popular upholster and fell in love with her fellow upholster John Ross and they got married agents her parents will. The started there own upholstery business together. He died and after she married various times.

The flag Betsy was visited by George washing ton and he asked her to make the flag Her Daughter designed it but she sewed it..There were 13 stars when she made the flag for the 13 colonies.g.w. wanted 6 points for each star but she put 5

Musket Ball Room Betsy didn’t only make the flag but she also invented nifty pockets for soldiers to put extra gun powder and bullets She called it “musket ball room” They soon became very helpful and popular and became a regular part of the Army uniforms

Betsy's sad life Betsy married a non Quaker man even though she was raised Quaker so her family disowned her. Shortly after they got married he died. She had many brothers and sisters but not all of them lived because one died. Her mom, dad and sister all died with in days of each other with yellow fever. She had to adopt her sisters kid after she died even though her sister disowned her. She married many times. Most of her children died…

wrapping it up! Over all Betsy was an important member of the American community,she helped the army, made our flag, and most importantly she set a new standard for women at a time when most women didn’t work. Thought her life she beat the odds and became a great seamstress an a talented upholster.
