    official US motto that is used since Civil War

    dub is clearly replying to this aspect of your comment. The In God shit was signed by Eisenhower, a century after the Civil War.

    The In God We Trust and E. Pluribus Unum phrases were BOTH seen and used in the the late 1800s, both in an unofficial manner. HOWEVER, E Pluribus appeared in the Great Seal of the US in the late 1700s, much earlier than the latter phrase.

    Neither was official, but if you’re going to pick a “de facto” motto, E. Pluribus Unum was the oldest and most used. Linking to more of your factually incorrect comments is about as useful to this thread as the guy shouting nonsense at the clouds by my office.
