Some Trivia Facts to share:
"Happy 4th of July!"
Although the Continental Congress declared independence on July 4, they actually voted to declare independence two days earlier, on July 2, 1776. John Adams would later write to his wife: "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America.... It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more."
David Mullich, American. American celebrates July 4th as its Independence Day because the date shown on the Declaration of Independence is July 4, 1776. A declaration of independence might have been approved by Congress two days earlier, on July 2, but that was a closed session.
