Watch these in order. And if your eyes begin to fog as you hear and watch the Henry Lee Proposition read on July 2, 1776, then know that our Nation will Stand, then as now in the face of the monstrous calumnies spewed by the enemies of Liberty. Long live the United States of America. God Shed his Grace on us- we must always remember the bravery and brilliance of our Founders-3 Equal Branches of Government, checked and balanced powers. Genius to escape the evils of monarchic Europe and the rest of the World. Say a prayer of Blessing.

Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, Philadelphia July 3d. 1776

The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, 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 Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

This is the origin of our tradition of fireworks on Independence Day.

The future second President of the United States proclaimed it.

-PJ

Independence without unanimity means nothing.
