He leads with the main point: Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase had the nation’s faith stamped on its money, commissioning the motto "In God We Trust" during the Civil War. He recounts how, in the darkest months of the war as casualties mounted across Virginia and Tennessee, a Pennsylvania minister urged Chase to make that declaration public. He explains that Chase instructed the Philadelphia mint to draft new designs and that the mint director considered mottos like "God Our Trust" and "God in Our Country" before Chase settled on those four simple words. He notes that Congress passed the Coinage act authorizing a new bronze 2 cent piece, which carried that permanent national declaration.
