什鹰美国象征
Why is the Eagle the national emblem of the United States
In 1782 US Congress selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the newly formed United States because it symbolized courage and might and because it was indigenous only to the United States and to Canada
The national seal depicts the bald eagle with its wings spread with one claw clutching an olive branch and the other claw grasping arrows The eagle however strikes different poses on other national depictions
The bald eagle owes its name to the early American colonists and is bald in name only As the whiteheaded American eagle differed from the European gray eagle the colonists used their word for white which translated into bald in describing it Unfortunately for the eagle the literal translation baldheaded stuck like a toupee
Since ancient times men have identified themselves with the eagle because it creates an impression of majesty and of power while in flight As early as 5000 years ago ancient Sumerians chose the eagle in spread eagle form as their emblem symbolizing their power Ancient Romans followed suit as did Emperor Charlemagne and finally Napoleon No doubt Congress considered the eagle＇s historical pedigree as being the animal representing a nation＇s power when selecting it to be the national emblem of the United States
