The Pledge is actually not only of allegiance to the USA, but to the
flag of the USA – which is unsurprising, as the Pledge was written as part of an 1892 advertising campaign by a children’s magazine company seeking to sell American flags to schools.
The Pledge has a fascinating history. Although well and precisely documented, its history is not, I think, widely known.
