On this day in history<\/a>, July 30, 1956, the 84th Congress passed a joint resolution declaring “IN GOD WE TRUST” to be the national motto of the United States, according to History.com.<\/p>\n

Passing in both the House and the Senate unanimously and without debate, the resolution replaced “E pluribus unum,” which had existed before as a de facto official motto, the same source noted.<\/p>\n

Just two years earlier, on June 14, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower<\/a> signed a bill to insert the phrase “under God” into the Pledge of Allegiance, said History.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before this bill, the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance, originally written in 1892, had contained no reference to religion.<\/p>\n

The phrase “In God is our Trust” appears in the 1814 poem “Defence of Fort McHenry” by Francis Scott Key, noted the National Museum of American History.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The poem was written in reaction to the British invasion in 1812, the same source indicated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Key wrote, “And this be our motto \u2014 \u2019In God is our Trust\u2019” in the poem\u2019s final stanza.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The poem became the basis of the national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the National Museum of American History said.<\/p>\n

The phrased is also woven into other aspects of American history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The official use of “In God We Trust” dates back to the Civil War era, reported The Pew Research Center.<\/p>\n

In 1861, the Rev. M. R. Watkinson, a Christian minister from Ridley Township, Pennsylvania, sent a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase requesting “the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins<\/a>,” according to the same source.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sec. Chase agreed and instructed the director of the mint to prepare a motto for use on coins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The director proposed “God, Our Trust,” but Chase altered the phrase to “In God We Trust,” which first appeared on a two-cent coin in 1864, according to The Pew Research Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The following year, Congress authorized<\/a> the mint to put the motto on all silver and gold coins that had space for the phrase, the same source indicated.<\/p>\n

The first paper currency bearing the motto entered circulation on Oct. 1, 1957, when it appeared on the $1 silver certificate, according to Politico.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Gradually, as new indigo printing processes were perfected, the motto was printed on all currency denominations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The initial idea of adding the motto to paper currency came from George Humphrey, Eisenhower\u2019s Treasury secretary,” said the same source.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 2, 2001, the House of Representatives<\/a> passed a non-binding resolution reaffirming “In God We Trust” as the national motto.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was approved 396-9, with two abstentions, according to PBS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The measure was sponsored by Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., the same source indicated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In God We Trust” continues today to be displayed on all U.S. currency and on government buildings throughout our nation.<\/p>\n

“No longer religious in nature, the phrase has become, rather, a historical artifact, a public recognition of the role of religion in national life, and an expression of patriotism<\/a>,” said the Free Speech Center of Middle Tennessee State University.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
