An independent place in the family of nations
The Red Scare concerning communism.
"E pluribus unum" (out of many, one) was essentially considered the US motto until 1956, when Congress passed an act adopting "In God We Trust" as the country's official motto. Opposition to communism as a godless, atheistic ideology (and fear of its influence) was a motivator for the change. Similarly, the phrase "under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance by an act of Congress in 1954. Both acts were signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower.
That statement is true.
To be precise, the united states coined both gold and silver in 1873. Before this, gold is the only material that is used to create coin money.
But the cost of production to produce gold coin is really high. Because of this, the government decided to include silver in order to drive the cost of production down in 1973.
