North Dakota State Motto"Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable"The North Dakota state motto appears on the state seal and was adopted in the year of 1889. The North Dakota state motto was suggested by Dr. Joseph Ward of Yankton (founder of Yankton College). He was also the one to come up with the South Dakota state motto. Dr. Ward wasn't the original creator of the North Dakota motto, however. This honour befalls American politician, Senator Daniel Webster. The words "Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable" are a memorable excerpt from an impressive speech delivered in the famous Webster-Hayne debate in 1830. This heated "Webster-Hayne" featured the main characters Senator Webster (Massachusetts) and Senator Hayne (South Carolina) and it was centred around the much debatable status of protectionist tariffs and trade restrictions. Webster's speech in this event was considered "the most eloquent speech ever delivered in Congress." His message about the ideal nature of U.S. government; that it ought to be "made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people" was such a great inspiration that Abraham Lincoln later self tailored those words together in his famous quote "government of the people, by the people, for the people." The patriotic emphasis on the strength of 'Union' in the North Dakota state motto is also represented in state mottos for Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, and Vermont. North Dakota State Nicknames "The Peace Garden State" (Official) The nickname serves in memory of the International Peace Garden - a large park and botanical garden symbolically celebrates the peaceful friendship between the United States and Canada.
