125 years ago, in recognition of the dedication ceremony of the World’s Columbian Exposition (aka the Chicago World’s Fair of 1892), the Pledge of Allegiance was developed by Christian socialist Francis Bellamy. Below is the original text, which Bellamy adapted from other sources:

“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”
