Surrender of Gen. Burgoyne, John Trumbull, 1821

An interesting article about the global scope of the American Revolution. Of course we know that various European imperialist powers were caught up in it, so it's not too surprising that it reached the coast of India with the 1783 Battle of Cuddalore.

The spiciest take, however, is claiming Yorktown as a victory for the French:

“Kids learn that Yorktown was an American victory. In reality, it was a French victory, made possible by a French strategy, two French fleets, French siege engineers, French artillery that pounded the British, was fought largely by French soldiers, marines, and sailors who outnumbered their American rebel allies four-to-one,” Glickstein argues.

The National Park Service says about 600 French troops were killed at Yorktown and an associated naval battle. It says just over 100 Americans were killed at Yorktown.

Happy Fourth of July. I want a hot dog, a sparkler, and treason to have a stronger punishment than marijuana possession.

This is an art of Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi celebrating this year's 4th of July (in the other words, the American Independence Day) with fireworks of their favorite colors. 🎆 So... Happy 4th of July 2023! 🇺🇸 And enjoy! 🙂

"Happy US Independence Day!" wrong the only thing American about this day is the fact that it's a day for America Chavez. When I say "Happy Birthday, America" I am speaking only about a young avenger. I don't know what these United States are that everyone keeps talking about

It was a humid Monday morning in a Congressional incubator...

‘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. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.’ - John Adams

Happy Independence Day to all of my American friends!

As it is now American Independence Day I'd like to declare my independence.

From America

Fuck you guys you suck ass.

Today, we take a step back to honor those who have sacrificed for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and acknowledge those who continue to stand up for equality and liberty.

We wish everyone in the US a happy and safe Independence Day!

I wanted to do something July 4th themed, but in a subtle way. So, after seeing a clip from a World War 2 cartoon, I decide to take a shot in making this awesome picture based around my desert train theme. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I do.

Favorite moment of the San Francisco 4th of July fireworks show was when they played "born in the USA" and 99% of the crowd looked around confused
