Manage episode 330988961 series 2675037
Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag. At least, that's what we were taught in school. But when historians go searching…there’s no proof to be found. In this collaboration with the podcast Sidedoor, we unravel this vexillological tall tale to find out how this myth got started, and who Betsy Ross really was.
Plus we talk about the real flag that inspired the song, The Star Spangled Banner.
