United States of America born 9/17/1789 Slavery Abolished 1861

United States of America born July 4, 1776.

Slavery abolished January December 6, 1865.

Actually, both of y'alls' dates are off. The US was first formed (born) on 01 MAR 1781, with the full ratification of the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution replaced that March 4th, 1789. July 4th merely marks the date that the delegates from the states formally signed the Declaration of Independence, creating 13 different states (countries). Our actual Independence Day is July 2nd, when they actually voted 12-0 (NY abstained) to be independent.

As I pointed out before, the US Supreme Court acknowledges US Citizenship as having began on July 4, 1776. Look up the case of “The Venus” or the case of “Sailor’s Snug Harbor”.
