hello
children welcome to the history of the
entire
world class i'm mr histor and i teach
this class and i think you're just gonna
have just a great time today we're
talking about my favorite flag in the
entire world it's a flag of my country
uh the american flag that's it you'll
notice it right over here and today i'm
gonna tell you a little bit about the
history
behind it so let's dance into some
history
there we go
all the way back past the 60s and the
70s into
the 1700s
it's back before even your
great-grandparents were born back back
back to the time of george washington
where is my hat
yes the first president of the united
states i still need my hat well we'll
get into that later but he was leading
the forces to fight great britain in
order to gain freedom for all of us over
here in america and he decided in 1776
that he needed something to fly up
something to hang on the top of a
flagpole and say we
are
america we see around the same time
there was a woman by the name of betsy
ross and she was wicked with a sewing
needle she could sew anything you wanted
scarves she can make a hat for you or or
socks for an elephant or even a neck
warmer for a giraffe she could knit
anything you wanted and so george
washington came to her and said
excuse me miss ross i know you're very
busy
oh well you know how it is sewing this
sewing that it's my lifestyle you know
oh yes
i know
i was wondering if you might be
interested in showing us a national flag
that we could fly over the colonies show
our freedom well i think that's a
splendid idea let me get working on it
so she did she sold and sold and sold
until she came up with the perfect flag
which we know now as the american flag
it had all the stars to resemble the
states back then there were only 13 they
were more like colonies the states began
to grow and we began to get different
parts of territories and it's all
very very interesting but see the very
most important part is
and uh we are unified by our flag which
is beautiful
and here
are a few fireworks
to just
make today the most special american day
on the planet
all the history we have time for today i
hope you enjoy
