Saw a great poll tonight. 26% of Americans don't know who we declared independence from.
What a country.
Looking forward to having both sides of the family over for homebrew, BBQ, model rockets, kites, and fireworks.

And the others believe we got independence on July 4th...idiots!!! 
The Treaty of Paris officially ended the Revolutionary War and was signed on September 3, 1783. I think that date is our country's REAL birthday.
Other "lost history" (i.e., not taught in schools) is that we had "Continental Congress Presidents" before George Washington became the first President of the United States. Some people think GW became our president on July 4, 1776.
Their office was created by the articles of confederation rather then the Constitution of the United States.
They were:
1. Peyton Randolph
2. Henry Middleton
3. Peyton Randolph
4. John Hancock
5. Henry Laurens
6. John Jay
7. Samuel Huntington
8. Thomas McKean (I lived on Mc Kean St. in So. Philly...)
9. John Hanson
10. Elias Boudinot
11. Thomas Mifflin (I lived on Mifflin St. in So. Philly...)
12. Richard Henry Lee
13. John Hancock[g]
14. Nathaniel Gorham
15. Arthur St. Clair
16. Cyrus Griffin

The Declaration of Independence was approved on July 4th 1776. As far as I am concerned that is the day American become an independent county. The subsequent squabble was to remove the occupying forces.  |

I don't agree. Just because you say it's so, doesn't make it so... The US does not formally recognize a country until a treaty is signed. Why are we any different?
Even the date is in dispute...from Wiki:
"Although the wording of the Declaration was approved on July 4, the date of its signing has been disputed. Most historians have concluded that it was signed nearly a month after its adoption, on August 2, 1776, and not on July 4 as is commonly believed."
Some people don't know the Korean War is still going on... 
Some history is just another's point of view and interpretation...like Custer's Last Stand. The history books say there were no survivors. That's not true. There were over 9,000 Native Americans who survived it.

I am brewing right now, tomorrow its out by the pool, relaxing, and doing some grilling with good friends. I am close enough to see the town fireworks from the pool as well!
On an odd coincidence, the beer I am brewing has red wheat, white wheat, and blueberries. never dawned on me til now, but I hope its flagging good!
God bless America!

I agree with this. I think it's quite appropriate that we choose the day that we gave England the big FU as the day our nation was born.
