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 Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.” - John Adams

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is its natural manure…" - Thomas Jefferson
