The U.S. flag has changed over two centuries but consistently symbolizes a nation founded on freedom, liberty, equality, and justice.
Thirteen colonies sought fair treatment from Great Britain, but injustices persisted. In 1776, representatives met in Philadelphia, signed the Declaration of Independence, and formed a new nation.
The document affirmed the equal value of all people, declaring “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” as “unalienable” rights. Writers accused King George III of obstructing justice, declaring him unfit to rule.
The Founding Fathers envisioned a nation where justice and the “blessings of liberty” were secured, as outlined in the Constitution. Over two centuries, America has grown into a global example, welcoming millions seeking the rights imagined by those visionary men.
