Summary:
Nacido el octavo de diecisiete niños en Filadelfia, Betsy Ross vivió en una época en que las colonias americanas anhelaban la independencia del gobierno británico. Ross trabajaba como costurera y estaba ansiosa por contribuir a la causa, haciendo tiendas de campaña y reparando uniformes cuando las colonias declararon la guerra. En 1779 estaba llenando cartuchos para el Ejército Continental. ¿Cosió la primera bandera? Eso es para el debate, pero "¿Quién fue Betsy Ross?" Cuenta la historia de un patriota feroz que ciertamente ayudó a crear la bandera de una nueva nación.
Born the eighth of seventeen children in Philadelphia, Betsy Ross lived in a time when the American colonies were yearning for independence from British rule. Ross worked as a seamstress and was eager to contribute to the cause, making tents and repairing uniforms when the colonies declared war. By 1779 she was filling cartridges for the Continental Army. Did she sew the first flag? That's up for debate, but "Who Was Betsy Ross?" tells the story of a fierce patriot who certainly helped create the flag of a new nation.
