Why is the emblem of France a cockerail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The former name of France (Gaul) was homonymous in Latin, with the species "Gallus" (the hen and rooster family). In some periods of French history, the rooster as the emblem of the ancestors of the French came back in favour, partly due to nostalgy, partly due to the rejection of monarchic emblems. That was the case under the French revolution and at the end of the 19th Century, when French history was revisited.

In addition France was a Catholic country, and the rooster was also a Catholic symbol, figuring in the story of St Peter in the Bible; also crowing for the day, it announces the return of the day, as in the resurrection.

It's not "I pledge of allegiance" but "I pledge allegiance." Also, there are only four words that are proper nouns. A better rendering:

I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America;

and to the republic, for which it stands;

one nation, under God,

indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
