Answer 1

The Pledge of Allegiance was not written to commemorate any specific event. Its purpose is to promote patriotism and loyalty to the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pledge of Allegiance was not written to commemorate any specific event. It was originally written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy as a way to promote patriotism and loyalty to the United States. The pledge has gone through a few revisions since then, but its purpose remains the same.

Answer 2

The Pledge of Allegiance was written to mark the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492, not to commemorate the Civil War, the end of racial discrimination, or the victory in the Spanish-American War.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pledge of Allegiance was written to commemorate the anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. It was penned in 1892 by Francis Bellamy to mark the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World, which is an event recognized in 1492. The pledge is one way in which students in the United States are taught patriotism. Although the Pledge of Allegiance has become a regular part of the school day where students show respect to the country's symbols and values such as the flag, liberty, and equality, it was not created to commemorate the Civil War, the end of racial discrimination, or the victory in the Spanish-American War. However, it is important to understand that African-Americans, during times of war including the Civil War and the Spanish-American War, have strived to hold America accountable to its promise of freedom and equality.
