Excerpt from Flag Day: Its History, Origin, and Celebration as Related in Song and Story National standards are as old as nations. In the day when a nation found itself, it raised an emblem of one kind or another as a symbol of unity and solidarity. These standards were carried into action and were displayed on occasions of state ceremonial. They bore significant designs or inscriptions of a civil, military or religious character. Out of these standards developed in time the flags of nations. While this development extended through centuries, it is only within comparatively recent years that flags have come to be adopted and recognized as national emblems. Although America is one of the youngest nations, the Stars and Stripes is claimed by some to be the oldest National Flag in existence. Denmark disputes this claim, and dates its flag to the lgth cen tury. Japan's flag, it is said, can be identified as far back as the lath century. Without discussing that question, we may accept with confidence the statement that the American National Flag is certainly older than those of England and France, for the Stars and Stripes was adopted by Congress in 1777, while the tri-color became the Imperial Standard of France some time during the first and second empires, and England's Royal Standard was not adopted until 1801. Before the War of the Revolution, the flags of the Colonies forming the United States were various, and in the early stages of the Revolution each state adopted a flag of its own. The Massachusetts flag bore a Pine Tree; South Carolina displayed a rattlesnake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

At a time when the U.S. flag is both a source of both pride and controversy, this volume provides the first encyclopedic A-to-Z treatment of the U.S. flag in American history, culture, and law. This title is a comprehensive resource for understanding all aspects of the American flag and its relationship to the American people. The encyclopedia provides a thorough historical examination of key developments in the flag's design as well as laws and court decisions related to the flag and the First Amendment. In relation to the flag's history, it also discusses evolving public attitudes about its importance as a national symbol. The encyclopedia contains illuminating scholarly essays on presentations of the flag in American politics, the military, and popular culture including art, music, and journalism. Additionally, these essays address important rules of flag etiquette and modern controversies related to them, from flag-burning to refusing to stand during the playing of the U.S. National Anthem.

The cultural and political history of the Pledge of Allegiance, how it came to be, what it means to Americans, and why we have battled over it for generations For more than a century, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance has been a central part of the American Experience. And perhaps because of its ubiquity, this simple flag salute has served not only as a unifying ritual but also as a lightning rod for bitter controversy. Congress's 1954 decision to add "under God" to the Pledge has made it the focus of three U.S. Supreme Court cases and at least one other landmark appellate decision. The debate continues today, but along with it exists a widely held admiration and support for this simple affirmation of our shared patriotism. As Jeffrey Owen Jones and Peter Meyer show in their illuminating history, this brief salute to the flag has had an almost magical power to galvanize people's deepest feelings and beliefs about who we are and ought to be as a nation. In that sense, the story of the Pledge of Allegiance is the story of America and the American people.
