While some may believe that Nevada’s state motto may be Battle Born, this is a common misconception. Battle Born is a saying that came from the fact that the statehood of Nevada was ratified at the end of the Civil War, which gave President Abraham Lincoln the votes he needed to free slaves in the doomed confederacy and across the nation.

The true motto of Nevada is “All for Our Country,” which, interestingly, was born out of the same circumstances as the more often used Battle Born.
