In what year was the original Pledge of Allegiance written?

The original Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy. This Pledge was initially composed as part of a campaign by the Youth's Companion magazine to create a patriotic program for American schools. The intent was to instill a sense of national pride and unity among students. The Pledge has undergone modifications since its inception, particularly with the addition of the phrase "under God" in 1954, but its initial writing can be traced back to the end of the 19th century. The other years listed refer to significant historical events but do not pertain to the creation of the Pledge itself. For instance, 1942 marks the time when the Pledge was officially recognized by the U.S. government, while 1776 is known for the Declaration of Independence, and 1819 does not have a direct connection to the Pledge.
