Despite the proliferation of the story that Betsy Ross sewed the first United States flag, historians can find no evidence to support this assertion. It is well documented that Betsy Ross did sew flags, among other things, but there is is no proof that she sewed THE flag. Even so, many teachers continue to tell elementary school children that Betsy Ross did sew the first flag, as if it were a verifiable fact.

The story of Ross making the first flag is not true and was made up by her grandson. She didn't have anything to do with the flag. Congress has given credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the flag for the navy in 1776.
