The eagle in the Seal of the United States of America holds 13 arrows representing the original 13 colonies and how they were forged out of war.
There are 13 arrows in the left talon of the eagle. The right talon has an olive branch which represents peace. The olive branch is in the right talon because it symbolizes that the peace is more important than the arrows.
The olive branch and arrows on the back of the great seal of the US stands for the power of peace and war. This is a power exclusively vested in Congress.
