Happy July 4th!

[El Kabong]

It was a lovely day to celebrate a great nation

John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that Independence Day "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"

I'm glad it is still celebrated in such a manner

Hope you all had a good time. You should never have rebelled against us. You could have been our Canada.

Britain's biggest mistake was levying all those bloody taxes on the colonies, Americans hate to pay taxes! Taxation without representation is tyranny!
The American Revolution was inevitable, American's wanted their Independence (and rightfully so) and British rule was simply out of the question. American Independence would have taken far longer if the colonies hadn't been allied with France, who was at war with England during the American Revolution.
