Fighting Is What Counts
By Michael Quinn Sullivan
There was no difference between July 3, 1776, and July 5. By all appearances, the American colonies were no more free, no more independent. The governing structures were not different.
So what makes the Fourth of July so special?
Consider this. We do not celebrate October 19, 1781, the date the war for American independence ended. There are no parades commemorating September 3, 1783, when the Treaty of Paris formally concluded the war.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
