Even though synonyms generally share the same meaning, they might not apply in the same context. So, if you want to use one specific word you should do that instead of trying to find a synonym that doesn't quite fit into the context you've established. An example is if you want to use the sentence "I was mad", meaning "I was angry", you could look for a synonym. One synonym is "absurd". However, this is a different type of mad, meaning crazy instead of meaning angry. "I was absurd" has an entirely different meaning than originally intended. This is why you should always double check the contextual meaning of the synonym you want to use.

Answer:
The author's purpose is to show that the story of Ross sewing the first American flag may not have happened, but that does not diminish its importance.
Explanation:
"American Flag Heroine" shows that there is no evidence to prove that Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag. However, this story is inspiring and an example of women's strength, patriotism and contribution during the war. In this case, the author states that although there is no evidence to prove Ross's participation, the significance of this story is extremely impactful in the country and should be encouraged.
We can use the following lines as support details:
- "Worse, they claim that there is no evidence to suggest that Ross designed, contributed to, or was even involved in the creation of the first American flag."
- "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."
