day 2

IN class we did project presentation. I had Betsy Ross the women who made the first american flag. Mrs. Ross personaly knew Goerge Washington, because she was his seamstress. Mrs. Ross ran her own business after her husband had died and kept it going. When aproached by George washington and asked to make a flag for the colonies she agreed. The flag she made had 13 red and white alternating stripes along with 13 white stars in a sea of blue.what i mostly took away from Mrs. Ross' case was that she was one of the first women to actually get credit for something. There still is no legal documentation that she had made the first american flag but htere is so much history that comes with her name. Most women were never recorded in text books that they helped out the war until her, she opened the gate for many women. Who no's, if she never got her credit for what she had done then maybe we wouldn't have women wouldn't have made such history. All it takes is one person to light the fire to start something that could potentally be eye opening. When Betsy Ross came out with this flag many other women could start getting their cresit as well begining a trend that would soon lead to many accomplishments by women.
