Explain Why The Bald Eagle Was Chosen To Represent America

What does the American Flag mean to me? It means freedom,respect,equal right, faith and hope. Soldiers help protect this country, they fight for us, they give up everything for us. People don’t know how important the flag is. The flag means our country’s freedom. When I look up at the flag, I see people, not just any people, the great Americans that have fought for this country.

Black Hawk was Sauk American Indian leader that became prominent at a young age and managed to play an important role in shaping Native American history and U.S. history in general. He was born in 1767 in Saukenuk, a Native American village is contemporary Rock Island, Illinois. Even with the fact that he was not born a chief, his actions made it possible for individuals in his tribe to appreciate him and to support him as their leader. Black Hawk trained as a boy and learnt a great deal about waging warfare, as war was a dominant concept in his tribe's culture and children were well-acquainted with it in order for them to be able to react positively to diverse issues that arose.

They are shown to be very focused on the eagle, paying close attention while the big bird is in the air spreading its wings majestically stating that it is in a higher ranking than the others. This is most likely a representation of life, the world’s ruler that connects everyone and everything together. The artist went with a very natural way of presenting the art adding more effect to what I think the meaning is behind this piece of painting. Since I had done some research about the eagle and aboriginal people, the eagle represented love and is known to be the closest to communicate with the creator because eagles can fly up the highest. I think the artist is trying to get the audience to interpret the painting this way. However this is just my way of seeing the art, many others have different perspective like this artwork may mean something else, with a whole different meaning to it.

Though the bald eagle is the nation's symbol, people still saw them as vermin and shot them on sight. Not only were they shot because they were thought to be vermin, but they were also shot because they were considered to be great trophies. This lack of patriotism and lack of kindness to animals in general brought down the population of the bald eagle. Since the population of the bald eagle went down, the bald eagle became closer to becoming an endangered species.

I chose the American bald eagle because it is one of the fastest and strongest species of eagles. It is the national symbol. The Congress adopted it as the national symbol in 1782. I think it was adopted as the national bird of the United States because the Roman soldiers used the eagle as a symbol of courage and power. In the early 1800's, Americans called the Bald Eagle, the American eagle.

The Dawes General Allotment Act was made to create the great symbol of the United States just hours after the Declaration of Independence was written. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson began preparing to a one of a kind, national seal. The seal went through three stages of designs in early 1782 before the fourth was chosen in 1782. A second and third committee made designs for the seal along with Charles Thompson. The first three designs played a part in the fourth design that combined the three. Charles Thompson created the fourth design and it was approved by congress on June 20, 1782. The Seal represents sovereignty for America. The seal’s design is used as our national coats of arms and is used to decorate on our military uniforms. I believe that the United States won, even though this wasn’t a battle. In the end the United States gained a symbol of the country’s sovereignty.

Leutze’s painting, Washington Crossing the Delaware, conveys that the people of America can overlook their differences and hardship when being unified by hope. He uses pathos in the color contrast in his painting to inspire feelings of hope in the unity of America. Dark color seems to loom, almost pushing upon the ships in the painting. Nevertheless, light surrounds the ships, seeming to flow from the American flag on the first ship. The American flag is a symbol of hope for the men on these ships, each of them being drastically different. The men gathered on these ships are all drastically different . George Washington himself is there, a highly respected general among common folk and even an African American man. Each of these men different in race, rank, and opinion are unified under a flag that represents each different person as a single people for the hope that they can earn their freedom. Despite the pressing darkness the flag shines a light of hope as a symbol of unity for the people of America. The pathos used in

The American flag not only stands for pride, freedom, and strength but the colors on the flag have a meaning behind them that all Americans should understand. In a description of the flag on a website dedicated solely to the Flag of the United States of America is states "The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice" (US Flag 2005). The flag was not just thrown together to represent the country but also have a true meaning behind them. The stars and stripes on the flag have both an exact meaning but also have the meaning of

As a Californian, perhaps we are biased, but California really has one of the best state symbols –the grizzly bear, yes? The California grizzly bear is our state animal and forever trudging along. And that is the subject of my public art assignment. In my opinion, it is the most symbolic public art located at the state fair in Sacramento region. When we take a look on the state flag, the grizzly bear also is the image of our state flag. But why a bear? Why the state would choose a bear? What is the meaning behind this public art of bear? What was the purpose? Where did it come from? Does it have a name? For California, everyone has a bear story and here is a brief history of the California Grizzly through the story of the state flag and its

Veterans Day is an important United States holiday for those who served in armed forces. People give honor to the military to remember and pay their respect to the soldiers. They made the risk for their sacrifices for the country. The Bald Eagle, a U.S. national bird symbolizes the strength, freedom, courage, and immortality. The symbolization was an appropriate choice by the Founding Fathers on June 20, 1782, as the emblem of the nation, for its majestic beauty, strength, long life, and proud independence. Also, it is believed that the Bald Eagle exist only on this continent of North America.

People remember who wrote the Declaration of Independence, famous people that fought in war. Without Betsy Ross there would be no American flag.

The flags dramatic emblem is based on the legend of how the mexicans traveled from Aztlan to find place where they could establish their empire. The god Huitzilopochtli advised them that a sigh-an eagle devouring a

Native American Indians have been living in America long before the white man ever came here.  There were probably about 10 million Indians living in North America at the time the “white man” arrived.  The first Native Americans were believed to have arrived during the last ice-age.  Somewhere around 20,000-30,000 years ago and they came through a land-bridge across the Bering Sound, from northeastern Siberia into Alaska.  The name “Indian” was given by Christopher Columbus who believed mistakenly that the mainland and islands of America were part of the Indies in Asia.

There are few objects that can be compared to the significance of the figure known as the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the greatest works of its time and still stands today as a meaningful entity of independence to the world. The statue is a great tribute to the concept of global freedom that had its roots in America. It was created to display the worldwide objective of peace and tranquility. The fact that another model of this icon stands today in a world capital shows the effect that this figure has inscribed upon the world. In addition, it represents the ideas that the United States was built upon and those that the people have lived by to this very day. Its most paramount features in its role through American history are its

Fierce, magnificent, and free. On June 20, 1782 the bald eagle was unofficially declared as the representative of the United States of America. Instead of protecting the national emblem, “on July 4, 1976, the US Fish and Wildlife Service officially listed the bald eagle as a national endangered species” (History of…). The representation of the country’s freedom, strength, and beauty lies heavily on this bird; if it were to become an extinct species, what would that say for the United States? There is a very realistic and near-future solution: cloning. The topic of cloning, which has become a part of modern-day society, is a controversial topic because it has become an unfathomable concept to those who still hold the traditional values.
