How know who said United We Stand Divided We Fall?

Question

How know who said United We Stand Divided We Fall? And when was it said? And yes this is a part of American History! Do you know it?

Answer 1

United We Stand, Divided We Fall

Think back a moment, if you will, to when you studied World War II in school. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt brought us into World War II, did the people of the United States unite as a bundle of sticks, or did they go their separate ways, protesting every minute detail at every twist and turn? Faced with war, the mothers took over the jobs the fathers had to leave. The children helped make Victory gardens. Bottle drives were started to help find metal for the army to use. Anything that could be done was done. For in unity there is strength. And when they worked together, they knew they could not be defeated.

Hit the fast forward button, let’s move a head about sixty years. September 11, 2001. It was a Tuesday, and the memory of those planes hitting the buildings and the field still remains embedded in our minds. After that catastrophe, flags were lowered, and signs were put up; signs that said ‘God bless America’ or ‘United we stand’. Signs that showed our support for our nation, our leaders, our fallen heroes, signs that showed our support and our love. We were a bundle of sticks. Again we believed what President Abraham Lincoln said, ‘United we stand, divided we fall.’ We stood united.
