「tea.leaf」 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 It seems to makes sense that you'd celebrate the day you gained independence, not the day you shat some crap on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Merciful Idiot Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well, people can be stupid at times and they didn't really think about it. ........ I'm not American and I'm really confused about the Number of numbers and their amount of numbers that numbers use for the amount of numbers, seriously. There are just so many numbers which stand for more numbers and even more numbers. Here's a question, how many times did I say Numbers? Winner gets 1 Rep.

Felix Culpa Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 It's on the July 4th because that is the day we proclaimed ourselves from British rule, allowing us to be our independent nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can proclaim all sorts of things and it'll never matter, because no cares; what matters is when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Culpa Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Wait, so you are not American, derived from the fact that you said "you" and not "us" in a term for America, so what does it matter to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGAKITTY Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Because we're America, and we can do sheet like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 We've been independent since the day we signed the Declaration of Independence. We've been our own country. Sure, later we won our independence, but we had already declared it beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can proclaim all sorts of things and it'll never matter, because no cares; what matters is when it happens.Except you're wrong in the sense that we didn't give a sheet about what Britain had to say. That's when we decided enough was enough and absolved ourselves from their control. That's when we truly had independence, because whether Britain acknowledged it or not they no longer had control. It's kinda obvious. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Because July 4th is the day we DECLARED our independance from britain. We are celebrating the day we officially declared ourselves free of Britain. [/thread] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 We've been independent since the day we signed the Declaration of Independence. We've been our own country. Sure' date=' later we [i']won[/i] our independence, but we had already declared it beforehand. As a technicality, we were still under British rule after we declared independence and wrote the DoI. When we actually became our own nation free from British ties was the day we actually WON independence and technically became independant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 ^ No.We became independant once we signed that paper. We where no longer under their rule. However, if we lost the war, we would be BACK under their rule. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 No, I'm pretty sure they did not sign a treaty that we were independant until AFTER we won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Uh..no..Winning the war just basicly made sure that Britain would not try to attack the USA or try to re-take it againWhen the decloration of independance was signed, we declared ourselves free from britain, and a new country. so, at that moment, we where no longer part of britain. After that, we where fighting to keep said freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 How can we be independant if the nation that was ruling is before is STILL ruling us? Declaring something means nothing unless the person ruling you acknowledges it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altαir Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Canada is an example. They had no wars. They declared independence, and soon Britian left them alone, but's just that Canada is part of the British Commonwealth... so... Or that's what I think. If you need a solid answer, there's Nigeria... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
