The last time the Liberty Bell was rung, was for a purpose, George Washington's Birthday. The date of the last rang was February 23, 1846. If you ever look at the front of the Liberty Bell you will see this written on the front "PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND UNTO ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF LEV. XXV X".  This quote comes from the Bible. You can find this in Leviticus chapter 25, verse 10. The Liberty Bell is still here and it has a very long history. This piece of American History shows us that we are serious about Liberty.

Flag

I want to tell you the important meaning of the American US flag!

Red: The red strips on the flag means by numbering that the 13 strips represent the 13 colonies of the USA. Red also symbolizes hardiness and valor.  

Blue: The blue part of our flag represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

White: White symbolizes purity and innocence. The 50 white stars represent the US 50 states.

The american flag is the most beautiful flag in all of history. Remember we are "Free because of the brave".


The person  who created the flag was Betsy Ross. Betsy Ross created the original American flag with the 13 Stars.

The most beautiful flag.

Original American Flag!

Branches of the United States Government

The United States of America has a form of Government called Democracy. The definition of Democracy: is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. In order to achieve Democracy, the USA uses the 3 branches of Government to help them. Here are the three branches of the United States Government:

The Branches of Government
