 FLAG OF THE
UNITED STATES
The national flag of the United States, often referred to as
the American flag or the U.S. flag, consists of thirteen
equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom)
alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton,
referred to as the union and bearing fifty small, white,
five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows,
where rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternate with
rows of five stars. The 50 stars on the flag represent the
50 U.S. states, and the 13 stripes represent the thirteen
British colonies that declared independence from Great
Britain, which they obtained in their victory in the
American Revolutionary War.
During the Revolutionary War era, the "Rebellious
Stripes" were considered as the most important
element of United States flag designs, and were
always mentioned before the stars. The "Stripes and
Stars" was a popular phrase into the 19th century.
Credit for the term "Stars and Stripes" has been
given to the Marquis de Lafayette, a French soldier
who volunteered his aid to the Continental Army,
led by George Washington, in the Revolutionary
War against Britain.
Nicknames for the flag include the Stars and
Stripes,Old Glory, and The Star-Spangled Banner.
Statue of Liberty
 The Statue of Liberty (Liberty
Enlightening the World; French: La
Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal
neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island
in New York Harbor in New York City, in
the United States. The copper statue, a
gift from the people of France, was
designed by French sculptor Frédéric
Auguste Bartholdi and its metal
framework was built by Gustave Eiffel.
The statue was dedicated on October
28, 1886.
 The statue is a figure of Libertas, the Roman
goddess of liberty. She holds a torch above her
head with her right hand, and in her left hand
carries a tabula ansata inscribed JULY IV
MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776 in Roman numerals), the
date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. A
broken chain and shackle lie at her feet as she
walks forward, commemorating the national
abolition of slavery following the American Civil
War.[8] After its dedication the statue became an
icon of freedom and of the United States, being
subsequently seen as a symbol of welcome to
immigrants arriving by sea.
LIBERTY BELL

The Liberty Bell, previously called the State House Bell or Old State
House Bell, is an iconic symbol of American independence located in
Philadelphia. Originally placed in the steeple of the Pennsylvania
State House (now renamed Independence Hall), the bell today is
located across the street in the Liberty Bell Center in Independence
National Historical Park.
The bell was commissioned in 1752 by the
40
Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly from the
London firm of Lester and Pack (known
subsequently as the Whitechapel Bell Foundry),
and was cast with the lettering "Proclaim 30
LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the
Inhabitants Thereof", a Biblical reference from
the Book of Leviticus (25:10). The bell first
cracked when rung after its arrival in 20

Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local

workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last
names appear on the bell. In its early years, the
10
bell was used to summon lawmakers to
legislative sessions and to alert citizens about
public meetings and proclamations.
