"...the Second of July, 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival."
- John Adams
Oh, John. If only you knew about Americans and their penchant for historical inaccuracies. In other words, happy anniversary to America. Time for fireworks, barbecue, American flag cakes, posing like a 90s Tommy Hilfiger ad, and all the other 4th of July clichés one could possibly dream of.
