4th Of July Not REALLY America’s Birthday!
The 4th of July isn’t really America’s birthday.
That’s right, the 2nd of July is America’s actual birthday.
So, America is really two days older than she says she is.
How could this be?

The day was thought to be very momentous. Thus, John Adams had written 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.

Happy birthday America! Have a safe and happy Fourth of July from your friends at Goldwiser!
