4th of July Ecards

Break out the fireworks and wave the flag proudly.

We’re celebrating America’s birthday.

You know the backstory: on July 4, 1776, delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring the U.S. and its original 13 colonies free of British control.

We’ve celebrated ever since with only one naysayer. John Adams, second president and one of the Founding Fathers responsible, always believed the holiday should be on July 2, the day the Constitutional Congress voted for freedom. But the rest of America stuck to July 4th. Eventually, Adams and Declaration of Independence wordsmith Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4th, 50 years to the day the first document was signed, cementing the legend we love to celebrate today.
