When she married John Ross, an Anglican, in 1773, she was expelled from the Friends Meeting for marrying outside the meeting
John and Elizabeth (Betsy) Ross began an upholstery business together, drawing on her needlework skills
Betsy Ross was not only a widow making her own way in life with her young child -- widowed patriotically in the American Revolution not once, but twice -- but she was earning a living by a traditionally women's occupation: seamstress
Ignoring many other stories of women's involvement in the American Revolution, Betsy Ross became a prominent character in the telling of the story of America's founding

Betsy Ross and Our Flag The first flag representing the United States was sanctioned by George Washington using colors from The British Kings Colours
It is said that George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross (Betsy Ross's late husbands uncle) came to Ross's home and asked her to sew the new flag
Originally, George Washington had wanted 6-pointed stars on the flag, but Betsy Ross demonstrated how to cut a 5-pointed star in a single snip, and the committee was so impressed that they allowed Betsy Ross to sew our new American flag, using the 5-pointed star
(The above article on the history of the Pledge of Allegiance was written by ) AMERICA The song 'America' is sung across America as one of the National Anthems
