INDEPENDENCE DAY
Chris discusses the annual celebration of July 4th in remembrance of the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.  A series of events led up to the declaration, which was not officially signed until August of
that year.  So how was the date of July 4th chosen?  And has it always been celebrated as a national holiday?  Also discussed is the timeline of events leading up to the American Revolution.
