America is the hope of the Earth, the city on the hill, the diamond in a very thick rough.

Our de-facto independence occurred on December 22nd 1775, when by an act of Parliament, the American colonies were removed from the protection of the crown, trade with them prohibited, and seizure and confiscation of American ships at sea was authorized.

Franklin:
Mr. Adams, but, Mr. Adams
The things I write are only light extemporania
I won’t put politics on paper; it’s a mania
So I refuse to use the pen in Pennsylvania

Others:
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, refuse to use the pen

1776, the Musical
