New Autumn And Winter Styles Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience To God Franklin Motto Long Sleeve Tee

In August of 1776, Benjamin Franklin explained to the committee deciding the Great Seal and other official imagery for the new nation how the great seal of America should be taken from the dramatic scene described in Exodus, where the Israelites led by Moses watch the Pharoh's men drown as the Red Sea closes in on them. This is what it looked like:

E Pluribus Unum  -Out of Many, One. Charles Thomson, the well-respected Secretary of the Continental Congress was an essential, well-liked figure who was trusted with taking ideas from all the preceding committees in 1782 and blending them together. Or at least taking what they thought would be the best. 

The reverse side ended up being a version of the reverse-side concept by William Barton featuring the all-seeing eye on the pyramid that to this day is connected with the idea and symbology of secret societies, Illuminati, and so on:

A Pyramid of thirteen Strata, (or Steps) Or, and, on the Summit of it a Palm Tree, proper. In the Zenith, an Eye, surrounded with a Glory, proper.

In a Scroll, above, or in the Margin –
"Deo Favente."
The Exergue – "Perennis."

Deo Favente is Latin for "with God's favor." Perennis means "everlasting" or "through years."

Thomas also created two new mottoes: "Novus Ordo Seclorum" (A New Order of the Ages) and "Annuit Coeptis" (Providence has Favored Our Undertakings). The whole thing was put to bed on June 20, 1782. The committee approved the revisions, and the seal was complete. They remain to this day. 

Thomas Jefferson likewise liked the motto “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God” so much, he used it on his personal seal. Not exactly a huge surprise, as his Declaration of Independence says that we not only have the right but we also have the duty to alter or abolish any government that does not secure our unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
