What is the Pledge of Allegiance?

The Pledge of Allegiance is a patriotic oath recited in the United States to express loyalty to the country.

It’s commonly recited by students in schools, at public events, and during government proceedings.

The Pledge reads:

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Written by Francis Bellamy, a Baptist minister, in 1892, the Pledge originally did not include the phrase “under God,” which was added in 1954.

It was intended as a unifying statement for American citizens, though the inclusion of “under God” has since sparked debates about freedom of speech and personal conscience in the United States.

Francis Bellamy wrote the pledge in 1892 to celebrate the 400th year since Christopher Columbus arrived.

The Pledge of Allegiance should be recited standing up, facing the American flag, and with the right hand over the heart.

The final coloring page has the Pledge, and this would be a great poster to add to the wall.
