After reading the article "American Flag Heroine," we can say the following concerning Edmund's purpose for writing it:

The author's purpose for writing the essay is to explain that, even though it may not be true that Betsy Ross sewed the American flag, the story is still relevant.

The author claims that "there is no evidence to suggest that Ross designed, contributed to, or was even involved in the creation of the first American flag."

She also explains that Betsy Ross "was a female role model at a time when men fought the wars and received all the glory. The story of her contributions to the birth of our country should not be challenged or even questioned."

What is the essay about?

Sylvia Edmund's essay concerns the well-known story of how Betsy Ross was the one to sew the very first American flag. However, Edmund presents a twist to that story.

It is likely that the story is untrue, since there is no evidence to prove Ross did in fact sew the first flag. Still, Edmund claims that such an issue should not interfere with the story's relevance.

The story serves as inspiration, as a model of patriotism. Even if false, it importance lies in feelings and values it conveys. And it does not diminish Ross's contributions.
