John Quincy Adams on Independence Day

• Why is it that, next to the birthday of the
  Savior of the world, your most joyous and most
  venerated festival returns on this day the
  Fourth of July?" Is it not that, in the chain
  of human events, the birthday of the nation is
  indissolubly linked with the birthday of the
  Savior? That it forms a leading event in the
  progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not
  that the Declaration of Independence first
  organized the social compact on the foundation of
  the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid
  the cornerstone of human government upon the
  first precepts of Christianity"?

John Adams on Independence Day

• I am apt to believe that it the 4th of July
  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

13
John Adams on Independence Day

  with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires,

  to the other, from this time forward
  forever.July 3, 1776 letter to Abigail, his
