I think Betsy Ross made the first American flag, because she owned an upholstery business, therefore she would be fit for the job. Another reason I think Betsy made the flag is because most theories you read about Betsy making the flag talks about  how much easier it is to make a six pointed star, but she could easily make a five pointed star. I don’t think  Francis Hopkinson could have made it that easily. I also think because Gorge Washington was her uncle she would have been asked immediately. That is why I believe Betsy Ross made the flag.
