Happy Independence Day everyone! On July 4th we celebrate July 4th, 1776, a few months after Thomas Paine published Common Sense, when we declared ourselves independent from Great Britain. On July 15, 1775, George Washington was named commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, formed by the Second Continental Congress. July 4, 1826: ex-presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams die. July 4, 1872: Calvin Coolidge is born. In memory of the 13 colonies, winning their independence from England in 1781. (We've both gotten over it since then.)
