5. The Symbols of America

6. The Flag

The national flag of the United States of
America consists of thirteen equal
horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom)
alternating with white, with a blue
rectangle in the canton bearing fifty small,
white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine
offset horizontal rows of six stars
alternating with rows of five stars. The fifty
stars on the flag represent the 50 states and
the 13 stripes represent the original thirteen
colonies that rebelled against the British
monarchy and became the first states in the
Union. Nicknames for the flag include the
Stars and Stripes, Old Glory, and The StarSpangled Banner.

7. The Statue of Liberty

Located in New York, at 151 feet (46
meters) tall (305 feet including base and
pedestal), the Statue of Liberty symbolizes
freedom throughout the world. Its formal
name is Liberty Enlightening the World.
The Statue was actually a gift from the
people of France.
The statue, made of copper sheets with an
iron framework, depicts a woman escaping
the chains of tyranny, which lie at her feet.
Her right hand holds aloft a burning torch
that represents liberty. Her left hand holds a
tablet inscribed with the date "July 4, 1776"
, the day the United States declared its
independence from England. She is
wearing flowing robes and the seven rays
of her spiked crown symbolize the seven
seas and continents.

8. The Bald Eagle

• The bald eagle is a large, powerful, brown bird with a
white head and tail. The term "bald" does not mean that
this bird lacks feathers. Instead, it comes from the word
piebald, an old word, meaning "marked with white."
• The bald eagle was made the national bird of the
United States in 1782. The image of the bald eagle can
be found in many places in the U.S., such as on the
Great Seal, Federal agency seals, the President's flag,
and on the one-dollar bill.
• The Founding Fathers wanted to choose an animal
that was unique to the United States. For six years, the
members of Congress engaged in a dispute over what
the national emblem should be. As a result of the
debate, the bald eagle was chosen because it
symbolized strength, courage, freedom, and
immortality and that it would look much better as our
national symbol.

9. The Liberty Bell

The Liberty Bell rang when the
Continental Congress signed the
Declaration of Independence and
has become the symbol of freedom
in the United States. The bell
weighs about 2000 pounds and is
made mostly of copper (70%) and
tin (25%).
Today, the Liberty Bell hangs in
Philadelphia at the Liberty Bell
Pavilion on Market Street for all to
see and is still gently rung each
July 4th.
