Each state in america has a different seal, or symbol, that represents the traditional culture of that state. the state seal of georgia is rich in meaning, history, and patriotism. when was the seal adopted? 2georgiaâs state constitution established the state seal in 1798. however, as georgiaâs political circumstances changed, so too did the stateâs seal. between 1863 and 1865, georgia used a different state seal to represent its separation from the rest of the country during the civil war. then, from 1868 to1871, georgiaâs secretary of state nathan c. barnett hid the original seal when the capital was occupied by the northâs victorious enemy forces. he readopted the original seal in 1872. 4georgiaâs state seal remained unchanged for 42 years. then, a law was passed that required the state to alter the date on the seal. the year 1799 had originally appeared on the seal to represent the year that the seal was officially adopted. the new law changed the date on the seal to 1776, the year that americaâs founding fathers signed the declaration of independence. what does the seal look like? 5just as coins each have a âheadsâ side and a âtailsâ side, state seals also each have a front and a back. the front of the seal shows three tall columns, or pillars. perched atop these pillars is an arch that displays the word âconstitution.â the two end pillars are each adorned with a ribbon-like banner that reads âwisdomâ and âmoderation.â a third banner, reading âjustice,â hangs in front of the middle pillar. when read together, the banners make up the official state motto of georgia: âwisdom, justice, and moderation.â the seal also exhibits a picture of a soldier holding a sword. the words âstate of georgiaâ appear along the top. the year 1776 is printed at the bottom. 6the back of the seal portrays a rural shoreline scene featuring a large ship and small boat. also included in the picture are bundles of tobacco plants and cotton and a farmer working in a field. across the top of the seal are the words âagriculture and commerce.â the bottom of the seal is also marked with the year 1776. what do the symbols on the seal represent? 7each item on the seal is symbolic of georgiaâs history and the history of america as a united country. the pillars on the front stand for the three branches of governmentâlegislative, executive, and judicialâand how they all work together to support the country and its constitution. the man holding the sword represents soldiers who defend the country and its laws. 8the boats on the back of the seal symbolize the agricultural commerce of georgia. similarly, the farmer and crop bundles represent georgiaâs dependence on agriculture for survival. during the mid to late 1800s, over 700,000 cotton bales were produced each year. cotton is still a âkingâ crop in georgia. the state currently produces almost three million bales per year. this is only one reason why the state is an important asset to its country. read the passage on the left to answer the following questions: 13) the author's main purpose in writing this article is a) to inform. b) to create. c) to persuade. d) to entertain. 14) in paragraph eight, the word asset means a) benefit. b) debt. c) element. d) expense. 15) in paragraph six, the word portrays means a) condescends. b) deceives. c) honors. d) reveals.

Read the excerpt from elie wieselââŹâ˘s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their ââŹĹproductionââŹĹĽ? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was ââŹĹprocessingââŹĹĽ ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single nightââŹâor even for just a few hoursââŹâwould have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
