1. The colonies officially declared independence on July 2
On July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress approved Virginian delegate Richard Henry Lee’s motion for independence, dissolving the political bands that connected the 13 American colonies to the crown.
July 4 is celebrated as Independence Day because the Congress approved the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, after two days of debating and revising its contents. The Declaration was just a formal statement and explanation of the split effected on July 2, and it seems the founding fathers intended July 2 to be celebrated as Independence Day.
In a July 3 letter to his wife Abigail, John Adams made this prediction:

El reiterado pregón se escuchaba por toda la ciudad. Era la voz de aquel vendedor oriundo de aquella porción del Camagüey donde proliferaban los verdeantes limones de jugo abundoso.
Se compraban diez de aquellos, quizás hasta 15, por un humilde peso cubano, en dependencia de la estación más o menos lluviosa.
Luego la cosa apretó, como van apretándose siempre las clavijas del desastroso estado de la economía insular, y entonces se pagaban a cinco por peso.
Luego tres, dos, uno. y de allí el precio subía en proporción inversa: tres por cinco, dos por diez. hasta llegar a no encontrarse ninguno, y apagarse, por años la voz del pregonero.

For far too long, tenants in Kansas City have been forced to live in unhealthy conditions, harassed, exploited, and displaced. For what? For the slumlords to profit. For the gentrifiers to extract from our communities. And THAT ain t right. Since 2019, KC Tenants has demanded that this city put people before profit. After the last year, we re done demanding, and we re here to take what we re owed. From the gross misuse of public funds, to unlivable conditions at Gabriel Tower, to the mass displacement at the Professional Building Lofts, to the violent evictions happening weekly during a global pandemic, to our unhoused neighbors forced to live and die on the streets. we re not gonna take it anymore. IT IS TIME FOR A TENANT RECKONING.
