"The day will be most memorable in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival…It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade… bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore."    -John Adams 
July 3, 1776 this quote was written by John Adams in a letter to his wife after the Continental Congress had decided to proclaim the American colonies independent of England.
