Answer 2

Answer: In the United States of America, children in government schools have to begin their school day reciting the 'Pledge of Allegiance'.

Explanation:

The United States Pledge of Allegiance is a patriotic poem pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and the Republic of the United States. The first version, whose text differs from that currently in use, is George Thatcher, a Union officer in the Civil War in 1885, who later wrote a book on teaching patriotism to children in public schools. Written by In 1892, Francis Bellamy revised Balch's poem as part of a magazine advertisement surrounding the Columbian Exposition celebrating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in America. Sales for The Youth's Companion magazine, his manager Bellamy persuaded Benjamin his President Harrison to enact Columbus Day as a national holiday and advocate for the day to be celebrated in the nation's schools. The magazine handed out a portion of Bellamy's Pledge of Allegiance on leaflets to schools across the country, and on October 21, 1892, more than 10,000 children were reciting the poem together.

Bellamy's version of the promise is nearly identical to the one officially adopted by Congress in 1942, 50 years later. The official name of the Pledge of Allegiance was adopted in 1945. The last change in its wording was Flag Day (June 14), 1954, when the words "under God" were added.
