My "I am..." is Betsy Ross who sewed the first American flag. I knew almost nothing about her, but that she sewed the first flag and showed partriotism to the British. So I showed intrest of learning someone I never knew about. I still think that Betsy Ross is an interesting person as I learned about her. I learned that she has married three times because her husband was killed in the war. I also found an interesting facts that she was connected to the Committee of Three: George Washington, George Ross, and Robert Morris. She knew George Ross because she married his nephew, went to the same church with George Washington and became friends with, and knew Benjamin Franklin's nephew attended her wedding. She is also an interesting person because many people thought that it was a myth that she had created the first flag and 100 years past before her grandson told people about Betsy.


 * Why did people think that Betsy Ross creating the first flag was a myth when there was no reason for her to lie or create stories?**
