Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag for George Washington. Washington wanted 6 pointed stars on the flag, but Betsy showed him the 5 pointed star. The state department does not have any proof (of Betsy actually sewing the first flag), but Betsy still gets credit for sewing the first American flag.
