Fourth of July and we had our parades, festivals, parties, and fireworks.
Happy 233rd birthday to the US.
However, July 4th was not a good day for us Confeds as you could say it was definitely the beginning of the end. Between Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia beginning its retreat from Gettysburg and the surrender of Vicksburg, this double blow was something nthe new nation could not overcome.
