    When most people think of Elisabeth Griscom Ross, also known as Betsy Ross, they think of the woman who came up with the design for and then sewed the first American flag. Many Americans believe that she sewed the first American flag under the direction of President George Washington, but historians are now saying this is likely untrue and was made up by her grandson over one hundred years after the first flag was sewn. Since this story is likely untrue should Americans still revere Betsy Ross as a significant hero of the Revolutionary War? In my opinion Betsy Ross is a significant person in the Revolutionary War even though she did not sew the flag because she was a strong, educated, independent woman when most women in those days were not strong, educated, and independent. Betsy Ross started her own religion, she loved her country, and should be considered a great American patriot.…
