The “Betsy Ross” flag was not really popularized until 1876 for the 100-year celebration of independence—after slavery had been abolished in 1865 after the bloody Civil War. Ross’ grandson in 1870, William J. Canby, presented a paper to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania that forms the basis of the claim based on a family oral tradition that he only learned of in 1857, which lent itself to the popular legend. When Harper’s New Monthly Magazine picked up the account in 1873, it reached a large audience for the first time. Come 1876, it was common to see the “Betsy Ross” flag. Maybe someone should tell Nike and Colin Kaepernick?
