July 4th is NOT the US's Birthday
--

This essay is my first attempt writing about HISTORY!

I explain how Ben Franklin invents the US, lives long enough to see it become a country, and leverages a lifetime of experience pulling pranks on people to get it done.

I also explain how he got the idea from the Iroquois, a confederacy of Native tribes that existed since the 1100's.

July 4th is NOT the US's Birthday

The US was created in 1774, upgraded in 1777, and upgraded once more in 1787. July 4th was simply a day when some of the colonists told England to get lost.
