Our Nation’s first Vice President thought that today, the Second Day of July, would be the day remembered and celebrated in history since on that day the Continental Congress voted to approve a Resolution officially declaring America's independence from Great Britain.
In a letter dated July 3, 1776 to his beloved wife Abigail, John Adams wrote,
“Yesterday, the greatest question was decided, which ever was debated in America, and a greater, perhaps, never was nor will be decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, ‘that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, and as such they have, and of right ought to have, full power to make war, conclude peace, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which other States may rightfully do.’ You will see in a few days a Declaration setting forth the causes which have impelled us to this mighty revolution, and the reasons which will justify it in the sight of God and man.”🇺🇸
So my fellow Americans, go ahead and fire up the grill and get out the sparklers today! John Adams will be smiling in glory! #
