- The Declaration of Independence
Unknown to many, the formal separation of the 13 colonies from Great Britain in 1776 occurred on July 2nd, rather than July 4th. This is when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a “Resolution of Independence” that declared the United States independent from the British monarchy.
After the vote for independence on July 2nd, Congress turned its attention to a Declaration of Independence, a formal document justifying their decision. The writing assignment was given to a committee of five members, and Thomas Jefferson was the main author for the committee. Congress debated and revised the final wording of the Declaration -- finally signing and dating it July 4, 1776.
During the debate process, John Adams wrote a letter to his wife, Abigail: “The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch 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 shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

Nice job. Nice images and editing. The most revolutionary concept of that moment was that the colonial uprising directly challenged the notion of social classes as they had existed for thousands of years. It was much more than a political declaration of independence. Monarchical and aristocratic privilege were institutions that no one would have challenged generations earlier. Men were subjects of their sovereign and no one questioned that until the Founding generation stood in defiance to the Divine Right of Kings, and extended the natural rights of equality and liberty to commoners. I wish more American Revolutionary history lessons included this most vital message. (Note: The1649 beheading of Charles I was the first major strike against the Divine Right of Kings, but the monarchy was restored a decade later.)
Thank you for posting the video clip. 🦅
Amen
Gosh, I love July 4th💕💕💕💕💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video!
We shouldn’t disappoint John Adams. Let’s do some bonfires and illuminations on the2nd also. 😉
This video reminded me of when I went to Independence Hall many years ago with my dad. I just found the postcard and brochure that I kept from that trip. There were some facts that I did not know or had forgotten, so thanks for the brief history lesson. Happy 4th of July, Dave!
Was this video shot very early in the morning? Why? Because there are usually pedestrians around Independence Hall. It's actually in two residential neighborhoods: Old City and Society Hill.
