Which of Barbara Frietchie's actions leads most
directly to a conflict?
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind: the sun
Of noon looked down, and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;
Bravest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attie window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet.
O She notices the flags flapping in the wind.
O She puts the flag in the window after the men have
taken it down
O She rises up, even though she is bowed over at
ninety years of age.
