Happy 4th!



 


On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from
Britain and Democracy was born.

 
HAPPY IDEPENDENCE DAY!!! 




Here's an interesting fact:

In July 1776, the estimated number of people living in the newly independent nation was 2.5 million.
Source: Historical Statistics of the United States: Colonial Times to 1970

311.7 million   is the nation's estimated popilation on this July Fourth, 2011

 


Hope you all  have a good 4th of July.

  2. Lydia, I'm not sure but I think they were photoshopped. These pictures were some I found off the web for this post.
