Before 1939, the official salute to the American flag in the United States was known as the Bellamy salute, named after Francis Bellamy, who wrote the original Pledge of Allegiance in 1892. Bellamy Salute (Pre-1939): Gesture: The salute began with the right hand over the heart and then extended the arm outward toward the flag, palm down. Appearance: The arm was typically raised at an angle, similar in appearance to what later became associated with fascist salutes in Europe. Historical Context: The Bellamy salute was commonly used in schools and at public events when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Due to its visual similarity to the fascist salutes used by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, the U.S. Congress changed the official salute in 1942 (not 1939, although criticism started earlier). The revised salute became the hand-over-heart gesture, which remains in use today. Would you like a historical image or drawing of the Bellamy salute?
