Delaware State Motto
"Liberty and Independence"
Adopted in 1847.
Language: English
Focus: Liberty and Freedom
This motto was added to the state's great seal in 1847 as an expression of the ideals of American government. The Motto -- was derived from the Order of Cincinnati, and approved in 1847. Liberty means freedom, and independence means able to survive on your own without the control of others. These two ideas have been very important to the people of Delaware.
