Phrases that caused legal battles
On this date in 1864, Congress passed a bill that added the phrase "In God We Trust" to all one-cent coins minted in the US. The controversial phrase would become the official motto of the United States, despite numerous legal battles, one of which reached as high as the Supreme Court.
Just as "Under God" was added to The Pledge of Allegiance, a patriotic statement recited in the United States, promising loyalty to the flag and the republic. It was originally written by Francis Bellamy in 1892 and has undergone several revisions, with the current version including the phrase "under God," added in 1954.
