Today is july the 4th it's the american national day !
In July 4th 1776, delegates of the colony convoked the second continent meeting, passing <>, and declared United States of America established.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. "
Written by Thomas Jefferson, the american declaration of independence inspired french revolutionaries with the "declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen" in 1789.
Have a great national day !

Thanks for the good wishes. Many seem to have forgotten that the United States achieving independence was made possible by the help of France. Our Statue of Liberty, symbol of freedom, was a gift from France.
