Five Pointed Star

Описание: Five Pointed Star | Betsy Ross | Historical Folk Ballad | Original Song

One quiet act. One folded paper. One star that helped define a nation.

“Five Pointed Star” is our original historical folk ballad inspired by the story of Betsy Ross, a young widow in Revolutionary-era Philadelphia, and the moment a simple, practical choice helped shape the symbol we still fly today.

In a time of loss, danger, and British occupation, sewing flags was more than work, it was survival, faith, and quiet defiance. This song imagines how personal grief became a lasting legacy, and how a single five-pointed star grew into a living emblem of unity and hope.

🧵 History & Inspiration

The story of Betsy Ross and the creation of the American flag has been debated by historians, largely preserved through family recollections passed down by her descendants. While definitive documentation is limited, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Whether legend or history, it remains a powerful and deeply American story, one we believe is worth remembering and singing.
