description
The seal shows two friends who greet each other with a handshake. The popular imagination claims that the suede-clad man on the left is Daniel Boone , who was responsible for much of Kentucky's development, and the man in the suit on the right is said to be Henry Clay , Kentucky's most famous statesman.
It surrounds the state motto:
- “ United we stand, divided we fall. "
- “ Together we are strong, divided we go under. "
The motto comes from the lyrics of The Liberty Song , a patriotic song of the American Revolution .
The seal can be found again in the center of the Kentucky flag .
symbolism
The official declaration is that the two men are symbolic of all explorers and statesmen and therefore do not represent any specific people.
