Remember, the American independence day is celebrating the declaration that we were free from of British rule.

The country wasn't actually formed until May 29, 1790, when the constitution was signed. These states were not united until that point.

This means the county won't really turn 250 until the year 2040.

Sorry to bring facts into this emotional topic, but if you care to celebrate these historical events, you really should know what it is you are celebrating.
