Symbolize Of American Culture

                                                             THE EAGLE
It took 6 years of arguing by our forefathersto come up with a national embless. We all know how Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey, because the turkey was a domestic,useful and tasty. But the turkey wasn't impressive enough for most of our forefathers. On the other hand, many other nations were using Eagles also. But  Banjamin Franklin pointed out,
                                  "the eagle is a bird of bad moral character "
                         because he was a scavengen that stole food from other birds.  
So a compromised was reached in 1782 and congress chose the BALD EAGLE, rather than the Golden Eagle (most commonly used by other countries)  bbecause the Bald Eagle was unique to North  America and not used by other countries, while still having impressive nobility. Due to land mismanagement and other factors , the Bald Eagle population was  almost entinct. In 1920 Congress passed a low farbidding the capture or killing of bald eagles. Since that time, with the banning of DDT in 1973 and other conservation acts,the Bald
                                   Eagle has made a come back in America.
