Why did Leaders think E Pluribus Unum was a good motto for the United States?

It means “many uniting into one” or “out of many, one”- The official explanation is that it represents the union between the states and the federal government. This was very important at the time because the colonies were very wary of a strong federal government, but this showed a solidarity between the states and the federal government that had not previously been seen. This structure and relationship between the states and the federal government is one of the reasons this country flourished. When the motto was originally proposed, it was proposed along with a different design that showed symbols of the different countries the people of the colonies had come from surrounded by smaller symbols representing the colonies. In this context it was more used as the people of the newly formed United States coming together as one despite their different origins. In either context, the motto represents a strong principle that this nation was founded upon.
