Independence+Hall+and+the+First+Flag+-+Lydia+J.

====At Independance Hall the first flas was being raised. This spot was the first ambitious public building of the time period. The hall was a capitol and well known spot of the colonies so when Betsy Ross made the flag she had stripes and 13 stars to represent the new colonies uniting. The raising of it was very important. People crowded around the buildling to watch with the delegates as it was being pulled up in 1776. The author Clyde O. DeLand betrayed this moment very well in this painting.====
