Unity is the Major Theme
of the Great Seal of the United States
The American bald eagle carries the message, "E Pluribus Unum," which means "Out of Many, One." This Latin motto was originally associated with a hand holding a bouquet of different flowers.
Other symbols of unity on the Great Seal:
- Bundle of 13 Arrows
- Constellation of 13 Stars
- Shield with 13 stripes
Another unifying factor is the only symbol that
America's Founders put on both sides of the Great Seal
(including each preliminary design): golden rays of light.
This light inspired the
United Seal of America
See symbols of unity on paper money
during the American Revolution.
