A #French member of the #EuropeanParliament has called for the US to return the #StatueOfLiberty originally gifted by the French people to mark the centennial of #AmericanIndependence because the US no longer represents the values that led #France to offer the statue.

The event was later referred to as a ‘massacre’ by the colonists to rally support for their cause. #BostonMassacre #AmericanIndependence

“Congress left time for reluctant delegates to come around to the resolution, so it was not until July 2 that the measure passed. ... While we celebrate the signing of the final form of the declaration two days later, the adoption of the Lee Resolution marked the delegates’ ultimate conviction that a nation should rest not on the arbitrary rule of a single man and his hand-picked advisors, but on the rule of law.”
On July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress passed a “Resolution for Independence” declaring “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”
In this article, I discuss and reprint a 1923 Independence Day oration by Reverend Charles W. Lyons, a Jesuit priest who was notable for serving as the President of four different colleges. His speech, titled "The American Mind," examined the famous phrase from an 1825 letter by Thomas Jefferson.

Robert Morris, the wealthiest man in the colonies (just ahead of George Washington), put his business interests on the line to join the Revolution. After the British Navy seized most of his shipping fleet, he humbly declined to state the exact amount of money he lost, for it might sound like bragging. His quip amused me - so I turned it into a short article.
