I believe Betsy Ross made the flag and I have evidence to prove it. First, there are notes coming from relatives documenting about the flag being made. She also had flag making skills from the beginning because she was a lady working at a upholstery shop. Another thing is she was amazing at making five pointed stars which is what Washington and others decided on to seperate them from the British stars with six points. Lastly, the five pointed star Betsy was said to have cut was later found in the safe of Samuel Wetherill meaning the star that she supposedly cut could have been kept by him meaning this did really happen.
