As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, it is fitting to recall how this momentous day was perceived by one of the most important figures in the creation and adoption of the Declaration, John Adams (1735–1826), Founding Father and second president of the United States (1797 to 1801).
On July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress concluded its debate and approved the Lee Resolution (also known as “The Resolution for Independence”):
Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.
Reflecting on “The Resolution for Independence” in a letter to his wife Abigail on July 3, John Adams wrote:
The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. 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.
As it turned out, we came to celebrate our independence on July 4, the day the Second Continental Congress approved the final draft of the Declaration of Independence, and not on July 2, the day “The Resolution for Independence” was passed.
Like Adams, I hope that you will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with pomp, parade, games, feasting, fireworks, shows, and solemn acts of devotion to God for the blessings of Liberty.
Happy 250th Independence Day,
Carl Brickey, PresidentCalifornia Republican Assembly
On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address at the dedicationof the National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the site of a decisive battle of the Civil War.Lincoln’s speech was brief, only 272 words, but eloquently stated America’s founding principles andpurpose.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation,conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceivedand so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We havecome to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave theirlives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—thisground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above ourpoor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here tothe unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather forus to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored deadwe take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure ofdevotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that thisnation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, bythe people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
On Memorial Day, we remember and honor the men and women who bravely sacrificed their lives forour country, our liberty, and the principles upon which the nation was founded. On this Memorial Day,let us not forget their sacrifice and let us resolve, as Lincoln admonished us, to devote ourselves to thecause for which they sacrificed, “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—andthat government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Sincerely,
Carl Brickey, PresidentCalifornia Republican Assembly
