@TheLOTRMemes I tried to be nice and pick him up. But he kept calling me a fool and said I should've flown instead.

@GlobalBoxOffice @AngelStudiosInc Just watched it with the family and enjoyed it. I don't know that they appreciated it as much as I did. But having just read through those chapters in Chernow's book. I like how accurate they tried to keep things.

@EricLDaugh Such a sharp contrast to the former British soldier on British television.

250 Years Ago- The Continental Congress votes to approve an updated version of the Declaration of Independence. The document itself would not actually be signed for another month. Wanting uniformity among the 13 different colonies, every mention of slavery was removed.

Today in 1776, The Second Continental Congress adopted the United States Declaration of Independence!

Happy 250th Independence Day!

250 Years Ago: Independence Vote

Although the Declaration of Independence is still being argued and edited. The Continental Congress votes to approve the Lee resolution. A resolution introduced by Richard Henry Lee back in June. The resolution formally declares independence.

250 years ago, on July 2nd, 1776, the Second Continental Congress voted to declare independence from Great Britain.

John Adams wrote to his wife the next day:

“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

Well, not quite.

On July 4th, the delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence — and that has been the day for celebrations ever since.

250 Years Ago:
A finalized version of Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence moves out of committee. And into the wider Continental Congress, for open debate. One of the main sections that will come under fire is Jefferson's paragraph about slavery.
