this has been haunting me ever sense the fourth of july:
back then:
on july 4rth, 1776 thomas jefferson wrote a letter. this was not just any letter though it was a letter that told king jorge the 3rd to back off and let us be free.that letter was signed by 56 barve men including john hankock, thomas jefferson, and ben franklin. those men were practically signing their death sentance. they were all so brave that was a very important day in our american history and one that let us be free from great britan and caused a series of very important events
Modern times:
on july 4rth, 2008 we find ourselfs again celebrating this wonderful day in history. But it is not veiwed as the day we began the official revolt against great britan. no now it is viewed as another reason to have a party, get drunk, then whatch some colorful explosion in the sky. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES THE HISTORICAL VALUE THIS HOLIDAY HAS?!?!?!?!?!? FOR PETES SAKE IF IT WASNT FOR THAT DAY WE MIGHT STILL BE PART OF GREAT BRITEN. so learn the true value of this holiday it will seem way more important if you do.
btw here it one of my favorite quotes tell me if you think its funny
"Nothing of importance happened today," King George III July 4rth, 1776
