Historians are not convinced that Betsy Ross actually sowed the first American flag. She was a successful upholsterer and flag maker at that time, but the story of her involvement in the very first flag did not surface until nearly a century after the first flag was made. Learn more about our nation's founding by watching The American Revolution, a Film By Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt. Made possible by viewers like you.
