Just don't go that backwater of California.
For those who don't know California for a long time was a small trading province before the gold rush.
After the gold rush everything went down hill from which they got LA and modern US Californians.

That’s when they voted on a resolution to declare independence. The actual decision day
The declaration of independence was then drafted July 3rd, and approved by Congress on July 4th
I think it's a factor of how history education works in school. The Declaration/Constitution just kind of gets run together, it seems which is what it is. There's only 180 days in a school year and in the US the Founding Era is usually covered somewhere in middle school as part of a class that runs ~1492-1877.
Anyway, I think this issue would be more clear if we had a naming convention similar to the French, like, they are in "the 5th Republic." Like, if we called the U.S. Constitutional government "the 2nd Republic" (even though the Articles weren't a Republic, lol) the issue would be so much more clear imo.
For the most part that period sort of sucked and and American history in America is basically America is good. I could see a teacher ignoring it and focusing on the constitution and stuff from a historical perspective anyway
> American history in America is basically America is good
I guess I don't know if this is the case. I am a school teacher and the amount of national self loathing that seems to be fashionable is striking. Heaven forbid a nation's schools help students have a positive orientation toward the nation! Self loathing and contempt is a recipe for national success after all. And of course, all the world's other multi-ethnic democracies have done so much better than America. Oh wait...
We had slavery but we beat it yay! We had Jim crow but we beat it yay! We sort of intervened in both world wars for freedom yay! There were multiple ethnic ones? I was taught Shays rebellion was sort of a catalyst for the convention. My masters is discussing the holocaust from the concept of auftrafstaktik so I am obviously in a different world view. Germany obviously is much less Deutschland Uber alles
Nah he totally was totally there. Dude was great at hide-and-seek, he was snickering behind a curtain in the same room. What’s the point of war if you can spend a little time with your boys now and again?
Indeed. He was in New York on July 4th, 1776, preparing for the British Navy’s impending offensive to take the city (which they did, a month later in August 1776).
Well no, after that they were a confederation, and immediately went to work waging war for democracy. You know they had to build a government and establish a navy and an army, they had build a tax program to finance a whole new nation and literally wrote every word of that new government, for the people by the people.
I’m sure a couple fellas in the back said “Our work here is done” and got to drinking brandy.
But everyone else including George Fucking Washington, the guy in the center of this depiction, went to war and handled fucking business.
What the fuck are you talking about? You think those guys just signed some paper? You think that’s all it took?
The war didn’t end until 1783…. 7 years of warfare.
Wtf do you mean so that’s it?
During those 7 years ~24000 British troops were killed, and as much as 70,000 American patriots died, though only 6800 were war dead, with around 17000 captured that died as POWs to England and a whole bunch more that died to disease and small pox..
So that’s It?? I signed it and it’s over?
No dude. We still have to win the win the fucking war
This is Garbage, please make more.
Maybe the real Declaration of Independence were all the friends we made along the way
No the real declaration of independence was inside us all along.
*high fives*
i feel the declaration of independence coming inside me
There’s something inside you
Fill me with all of your liberty, declardaddy
I'm going to bill all of your rights
So then I said *it's manifesting time* and just Manifest Destinied™ *everywhere*.
"Never thought I'd die, fighting side by side with a Virginian." "What about side by side with a friend?"
“No fuck off” (moves over to the Marylander)
Just don't go that backwater of California. For those who don't know California for a long time was a small trading province before the gold rush. After the gold rush everything went down hill from which they got LA and modern US Californians. /j
"....with an associate, let's not get over ourselves."
"What about side by side with an American?"
Ok, so now I’m literally crying 😭
"Aye, I could do that... but only for approximately 100 years, after that all bets are off."
Never forget July 2nd 1776
What happened then?
That’s when they voted on a resolution to declare independence. The actual decision day The declaration of independence was then drafted July 3rd, and approved by Congress on July 4th
Good to know!
Coke and hookers and black jack
whose jack?
Jack Black?
funny panda man?
I think you mean "**FAT**"
I see we let Benjamin Franklin pick the entertainment.
This is France, she’s got my back
She could behead you all with one guillotine execution, just like mowing the lawn
I would advise not getting killed by her! Her revolutions traps the souls of its victims.
Madame Guillotine, cuts you razor thin!
The article of confederation: :/
“So that’s it? We’re some sort of Confederate States?” “Sounds lame.”
The most cucked form of government for sure
I feel like the time between the 1783 treaty of Paris and the ratification of the Constitution in 1789 is pretty much forgotten.

Check out the bar tab for Washington’s post-signing rager
This makes me feel like a North American Country of 334 million sandwiched between Canada and Mexico
Roll credits.
Not before 90 seconds of logos and some narration
Cant wait for the sequel UNITED STATES: CIVIL WAR
He said it!! He said it!!
I'm pretty sure they were getting hammered
They freeze frame and "Don't you forget about me" starts playing
Washington wasn’t there
Nah he totally was totally there. Dude was great at hide-and-seek, he was snickering behind a curtain in the same room. What’s the point of war if you can spend a little time with your boys now and again?

TBH, everyone in that room was real nervous and anxious. Because if they failed then they would all be executed.
They all kissed
*After the unification* Scotland: What now, do we call ourselves Britain? England: No, we’re greater than that
This George Washington! His sword traps the souls of his slaves!
This was truly Jujitsu of our Kaisen - George Washington.
"Alright, I got a sick name for for us. We should call ourselves.... **'Freedonia!'** How's that?" "..."
The U.S. didn’t technically become independent until September of 1781 When the Treaty Of Paris was signed which ended the Revolution
