Did you know...
E Pluribus Unum is the United States motto, appearing on the nation's coins and paper money, and on many of its public monuments. It means "From many, one." First used to unify the 13 British colonies in North America during the American Revolution (1775-1783), this phrase acquired new meaning when the United States received wave after wave of immigrants from many lands. These immigrants had to find ways to reconcile their varied backgrounds and fit together under a constitution and a set of laws. That process of creating one society out of many different backgrounds is one of the biggest stories of the American experience. "What then is the American, this new man?" asked one of thousands of immigrants who came to North America in the 18th century. "He is an American, who leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds. The American is a new man, who acts upon new principles... Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men." |
