Happy Independence Day everyone.
On July 4, 1776, the Thirteen Colonies broke away from the Kingdom of Great Britain, ruled at the time by George III. During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve an independence resolution proposed by Richard Henry Lee. After approval, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a document explaining this decision, which was drafted by the Commission of Five, but whose primary author was Thomas Jefferson. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4. The day before, John Adams wrote this letter to his wife Abigail:
«The second day of July, 1776, 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.»
