Did you know Adams wrote about the declare independence day on July 2nd?

Posted 07-08-2012 at 08:46 PM by Outsider

Yes it true, John Adams wrote on July 2, 1776, the date the Second Continental Congress voted to declare independence from Britain, not July 4th, the date Congress' president John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence, should be "the great anniversary Festival."

Yet, many would say that just Adam but all together 13 colonies of Britain had agree to declare independence from Great Britain which adapted on 7/4/76.

This matter I would disagree because according to historians, its concluded that the declaration was signed nearly a month after its adoption, on August 2 of 1776 not on July 4?

The Unite States of America has gotten this Independence Day date wrongly somehow for the past 236 years.

I think the reason of this mix up date was base on how the civilization people have been mistaken brain wash the wrong idea about this Independence Day from what other thing happen during 4th of July.

Did you know America's first five presidents have die on the Fourth of July day?

Three of America's first five presidents died on Independence Day somehow celebration over this with their great achievement pride over this Independence Day (2nd day of July), but also apparently to prime about president birth-day and war too. (Not the Revolutionary War)

Three of America's first five presidents died on Independence Day. John Adams, the second president, and Thomas Jefferson, the third president, were bitter rivals throughout their political careers, but nearly twins in their deaths. They died hours apart on July 4, 1826, Adams at age 90 in Massachusetts and Jefferson at age 83 in Virginia.

James Monroe, the fifth president, also died on July 4, five years after Adams and Jefferson in 1831. The 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, was born on the Fourth of July in 1872.

Once again, this I believe may-be the reason of the mixture idea about the Independence Day date. Base about the America's first five presidents death, birthday and wars.

In 1870, congress made this Independence Day a official holiday mark on July 4th. That a 100 years later for congress to make this Independence Day an official holiday on the 4th of July. That mean, soo many people have think the declaration of independence day official was on the 4th instead on the 2nd?

P.S.

Did you know the United States got what may be the country's largest physical birthday present on July 4, 1884, when the French presented it with the Statue of Liberty. It took four months to assemble the 151-foot-tall statue, which was shipped from Paris in hundreds of pieces.

While the statue was intended to commemorate America's centennial, it was not formally dedicated until 10 years after the fact, when President Grover Cleveland held a Statue of Liberty ceremony on October 25, 1886.
