Trivia about the Declaration of Independence

I found this website and thought the info was interesting.  I did not do a Snopes search or anything to verify the info.  5 neat facts about the Declaration of Independence

Several years ago, I can't remember when, I remember being in a group of folks who were discussing how they would celebrate the 4th of July as Independence Day.  There was an Englishman in the group.  I'm not sure, but I believe I was going to school at OSU and the Englishman was one of the architecture professors.  Anyway, someone in the group asked the Englishman if he celebrated the 4th of July.  The Englishman said no, why should he?  The person in the group said it was because of the US independence from England.  The Englishman said, "Oh, yes.  You mean the 'insurrection'?"  Cracked me up.

Have a safe weekend.
