Happy Independence Day!
We're celebrating democracy, freedom, liberty and the a really good cup of coffee! Although the war between England and the 13 colonies ended in September of 1783, the United States of America recognizes it's establishment with the Declaration of Independence. The document was signed by 56 delegates of the 2nd Continental Congress on the 4th of July, 1776, two days after they had voted to declare independence from Great Britain. We've been voting, exercising our rights, watching the fireworks, and drinking coffee ever since!
