Roosevelt
16th president (18611865), Abraham
Lincoln.
The
Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty
is the symbol of
American
democracy. It stands
on Liberty Island in
New York. It is one of
the first things
people see when they
arrive in New York by
sea. This National
Monument was a
present from France
to the USA.
France gave the
statue to America in
1884 as a symbol of
friendship. Liberty
carries the torch of
freedom - in her right
hand. In her left hand
she is holding a tablet
with the inscription
"July 4, 1776" American
Independence Day.
The White House is the
official residence and
principal workplace of
the President of the
United States.
Today, the White House

Room, Roosevelt Room,
East Wing, and the Old
Executive Office
Building, which houses
the executive offices of
the President and Vice
President.

The Great Seal
The Great Seal of the
United States is used to
authenticate certain
documents issued by
the United States
federal government.
The phrase is used both
for the physical seal
itself (which is kept by
the United States
Secretary of State), and
more generally for the
design impressed upon
it. The Great Seal was
first used publicly in
1782.
The obverse of the great
seal is used as the
national coat of arms of
the United States. It is
officially used on
documents such as
United States passports,
military insignia,
embassy placards, and
various flags. As a coat of
arms, the design has
official colors; the
physical Great Seal itself,
as affixed to paper, is
monochrome.
Since 1935, both sides of
the Great Seal appear on
the reverse of the onedollar bill. The Seal of the
President of the United
States is directly based
on the Great Seal, and its
elements are used in
numerous government
agency and state seals.
