Answer 1

Betty, if you are in school (and I think you are), walk up to your American History teacher and whack him/her on the side of the head!

Answer 2

It does not appear in the National Anthem, but in the Pledge of Allegiance.

A quick Yahoo search yields this answer: The U.S. Pledge of Allegiance was first written in 1892 for a national public schools' celebration of the Columbus Day quadricentennial. The words "under God" were not added until 1954.

The new bill is supported by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 'fearing an atomic war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.' This fear spurs U.S. legislators to desire to distance the U.S. from "godless communists." President Eisenhower signs the bill on June 14, 1954. The new Pledge reads:
"I Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Answer 3

Under God was never added, and is not in the National Anthem. The national anthem is the Star Spangled Banner.

However if you meant when was it added to the pledge of alliegence, it was added in 1954 by act of Congress after a strong campaign led by the christian orginization the Knights of Columbus.

Congress added it because at the time we were in the middle of the red scare (fear of communists), and communists were atheists. So the government decided to add the words under god to the pledge as a way to say 'screw you' to the communists.

Answer 4

I think your talking about the Pledge of Allegiance?

On Flag Day June 14, 1954, the words “under God” were added

The last change in the Pledge of Allegiance occurred on June 14 (Flag Day), 1954 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved adding the words "under God". As he authorized this change he said: "In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war."
This was the last change made to the Pledge of Allegiance. The 23 words what had been initially penned for a Columbus Day celebration now comprised a Thirty-one profession of loyalty and devotion to not only a flag, but to a way of life....the American ideal. Those words now read:

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.”

The Star Spangled Banner does not have that line. It does however say "And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”" in the last verse which is original.

Answer 5

Under God was added to the Pledge of Allegiance by the US Congress in 1954 and signed by President Eisenhower. This addition was to distinguish America from the Godless Communists.
