Originally posted by OUlioness01 What's fun is that the Declaration of INdependence wasn't signed on July 4th, it was revised and approved (for the most part) on that day. it was signed on Jluy 19, 1776. What's also fun is that the United States of America wan't founded until the articles of confederation failed 10 years after the Declaration of independence. anyway that's enough history for today. congratulations to the United States on 227 years of life, liberty, and happiness !
LOL And we really weren't taken seriously by the British until after the War of 1812.
God bless the American spirit to stand up for what we truly believe in which makes us who we are!
Ah, the great American tradition.....hot dog eating...
