The original pledge: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
-Francis Bellamy, 1892
Bellamy was a
Christian Socialist and Baptist minister, yet he didn't see fit to put in "Under God". Of course he also changed his mind about putting in "equality and fraternity".
