In my cultural artifact essay, I wrote about the American flag and it’s symbolism, and the way it’s treated in America.
People credit the first American Flag to Betsy Ross, but I wanted to dig deeper and figure out the story behind that. What do any of us know besides her name?
On a related note, I referred to the American flag in my essay as “Old Glory,” and got to thinking- Why is that its nickname? How many people know where that nickname came from?
So I decided to find out. I made a website so all the information I found is easily accessible in one place and easy to navigate.
