0:00:39,320 --> 0:00:42,950
great-grandparents were born back back

21
0:00:42,960 --> 0:00:47,029

0:00:47,039 --> 0:00:49,350
where is my hat

23
0:00:49,360 --> 0:00:51,590

0:00:51,600 --> 0:00:55,590
states i still need my hat well we'll

25
0:00:55,600 --> 0:00:57,350
get into that later but he was leading

26
0:00:57,360 --> 0:00:59,670
the forces to fight great britain in

27
0:00:59,680 --> 0:01:02,630
order to gain freedom for all of us over

28
0:01:02,640 --> 0:01:06,550
here in america and he decided in 1776

29
0:01:06,560 --> 0:01:09,670
that he needed something to fly up

30
0:01:09,680 --> 0:01:11,910
something to hang on the top of a

31
0:01:11,920 --> 0:01:14,070
flagpole and say we

32
0:01:14,080 --> 0:01:15,109
are

33
0:01:15,119 --> 0:01:18,230
america we see around the same time

34
0:01:18,240 --> 0:01:20,630
there was a woman by the name of betsy

35
0:01:20,640 --> 0:01:22,789
ross and she was wicked with a sewing

36
0:01:22,799 --> 0:01:24,870
needle she could sew anything you wanted

37
0:01:24,880 --> 0:01:28,149
scarves she can make a hat for you or or

38
0:01:28,159 --> 0:01:30,310
socks for an elephant or even a neck

39
0:01:30,320 --> 0:01:33,030
warmer for a giraffe she could knit

40
0:01:33,040 --> 0:01:34,550
anything you wanted and so george

41
0:01:34,560 --> 0:01:37,190
washington came to her and said

42
0:01:37,200 --> 0:01:41,910
excuse me miss ross i know you're very

43
0:01:41,920 --> 0:01:43,270
busy

44
0:01:43,280 --> 0:01:46,389
oh well you know how it is sewing this

45
0:01:46,399 --> 0:01:49,590
sewing that it's my lifestyle you know

46
0:01:49,600 --> 0:01:51,270
oh yes

47
0:01:51,280 --> 0:01:53,109
i know

48
0:01:53,119 --> 0:01:55,590
i was wondering if you might be

49
0:01:55,600 --> 0:01:58,789
interested in showing us a national flag

50
0:01:58,799 --> 0:02:02,149
that we could fly over the colonies show

51
0:02:02,159 --> 0:02:04,469
our freedom well i think that's a

52
0:02:04,479 --> 0:02:07,030
splendid idea let me get working on it

53
0:02:07,040 --> 0:02:10,389
so she did she sold and sold and sold

54
0:02:10,399 --> 0:02:12,790
until she came up with the perfect flag

55
0:02:12,800 --> 0:02:15,589
which we know now as the american flag

56
0:02:15,599 --> 0:02:17,510
it had all the stars to resemble the

57
0:02:17,520 --> 0:02:20,150
states back then there were only 13 they

58
0:02:20,160 --> 0:02:22,550
were more like colonies the states began

59
0:02:22,560 --> 0:02:24,390
to grow and we began to get different

60
0:02:24,400 --> 0:02:27,430
parts of territories and it's all

61
0:02:27,440 --> 0:02:29,670
very very interesting but see the very

62
0:02:29,680 --> 0:02:33,040
most important part is

63
0:02:33,680 --> 0:02:37,830
and uh we are unified by our flag which

64
0:02:37,840 --> 0:02:39,270
is beautiful

65
0:02:39,280 --> 0:02:40,470
