I think people have to understand that it's literally built into Americans' DNA to believe we can do things others see as impossible.

A bunch of farmers with muskets and no shoes took on the might of King George's empire, and that spirit is still alive in some form today.

On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth and decisive state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, making it the law of the land.

After the Constitutional Convention wrapped up in Philadelphia the previous September, the document needed the approval of 9 of the 13 states. New Hampshire’s vote sealed the deal (with Virginia and New York following shortly after).

It wasn’t without drama; debates raged over a stronger federal government, the lack of a Bill of Rights, and state powers. But with the promise of future amendments, the first 1o ten, enough states said yes.

The new government under the Constitution officially began on March 4, 1789, and still guides us today as the oldest written national constitution in operation.

America at 250

On June 20, 1782, Congress officially adopted the Great Seal of the United States!

After six years, three committees, and plenty of debate following the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress finally approved the national seal.

Front:
A majestic bald eagle clutches an olive branch (peace) in one talon and 13 arrows (war/defense) in the other. Its breast bears a shield with 13 red and white stripes under a blue bar, representing the states united under Congress. In its beak: “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of Many, One”). Above its head, 13 stars in a constellation of glory.

Back:
An unfinished pyramid topped by the Eye of Providence. “Annuit Coeptis” (“He [Providence] has favored our undertakings”) and “Novus Ordo Seclorum” (“A New Order of the Ages”), with 1776 in Roman numerals at the base.

Charles Thomson largely designed the seal, and the photo shows his 1782 design.

This seal has authenticated official U.S. documents ever since, and it is still used today.

In memory of the 1.5 million horses & mules who gave their lives in the Civil War by being killed in battle, wounded, or lost to disease.

This powerful memorial honors their silent sacrifice alongside Union & Confederate soldiers.

Lest we forget the true cost of war.
