America has a motto - ‘In God we trust’. Each of the individual states also has its own motto, as well as state flower, tree, bird and a nickname. This map shows all the state mottos in map form. These mottos vary a great deal, but collectively they demonstrate to me that Americans, whilst being proud to be American are also proud of their region. This is understandable given the size of the country and the diverse cultures. Florida’s state motto is ‘In God we trust’ – could they not think of one of their own!
