Betsy Ross Flag Collection
Perhaps the most well-known figure from America’s founding history, other than the Founding Fathers and generals of the Revolution, is Betsy Ross.
Betsy Ross became an iconic figure of American history in the latter part of the 1800s when stories began to circulate that she had sewn together with the original stars and stripes flag for America’s adoption in 1776. In fact, an 1871 pamphlet even claimed that Ross came up with the name “United States of America” for the new country.
