Independence to Live In Dependence
Happy 4th of July, Independence Day!
I’ve recently seen several video clips of Americans being asked about the origin of Independence Day:
From what country did we get our independence?
Who were some of the signers of the Declaration of Independence?
When did we get our independence?
Answers like “the South” and “Lincoln” and “1863?” grieve me! What used to be common knowledge and understanding for all Americans is clearly not now.
