The
Betsy Ross flag is an early design of the
flag of the United States, popularly — but very likely incorrectly — attributed to
Betsy Ross, using the common motifs of alternating red-and-white striped field with five-pointed stars in a blue canton. The flag was designed during the
American Revolution and features 13 stars to represent the original
13 colonies. The distinctive feature of the Ross flag is the arrangement of 5-pointed stars in a circle.
