John Adams (2nd president of the U.S.A.) speaking about the 4th of July said: “This day will be the most memorable epic in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival.”

It’s amazing that on the very day they approved the Declaration, Adams was already foreseeing that their actions would be celebrated by future generations. Adams contemplated whether it would be proper to hold such celebrations, but then concluded that the day should be commemorated – but in a particular manner and with a specific spirit: Adams said, “It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”
