[QUOTE="Travace, post: 192717, member: 111"] On July 2nd 1776 the 2nd continental congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that was proposed by Richard Henry Lee declaring the United States Independent from the Great Britain rule. once they voted for independence they focused on the Declaration of Independence which explained this decision. after congress debated and revised the wording of the declaration it was finally approved on July 4th. John Adams wrote a letter to his wife....."The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. 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" He was off by two days but very correct... I am glad to perpetuate his prediction even if he was off by a couple days... I am glad most of all my friends and family still do the same... HAPPY 4th everyone. [/QUOTE]
