4th Of July


No matter how you celebrate the 4th of July it is important to know the history "for those who don't know the history will be doomed to repeat it." Benjamin Franklin.

Independence Day should have been on July 2, 1776. They (Congress) voted for independence from Great Britain on that date. Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence and wanted a new Constitution every 19 years. John Hancock was the first to sign it. And the last person (Thomas Mckean) signed the Declaration on August 2nd 1777 "the actual date is disputed". John Adams actually said in a letter to his wife that the 2nd day of July should be celebrated with parades, bonfires, and fireworks for years to come. As in protest, he didn't go to any parties on the 4th of July. 3-presidents died on that day John Adams and Thomas Jefferson Died on July 4th 1826 and James Monroe Died on July 4th 1931. So far Calvin Coolidge was the only president born on the 4th of July in 1872.
