The Nation's first motto was 'E Pluribus Unum.' What does that mean?

Accepted answers:

  • Out of many, one
  • We all become one

Why this is the correct answer

Latin for 'out of many, one,' E Pluribus Unum captured the idea that many separate colonies and later many diverse people could come together to form a single unified nation. This phrase appeared on the Great Seal of the United States and reflected the founders' vision for a country built from many parts.
