Copley, John Adams, 1783
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.
There's not much chance that Adams that he could've expected our freedom to reach such heights as BÖC covering MC5 (Abigail might have), but he did ask for pomp, so Independence Week starts here and now as we "kick out the jams, brothers and sisters" ...
The British blew a thirteen-colony lead.
