1917: On July 4, U.S. troops make their first public display of WWI, marching through the streets of Paris to the grave of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat and general of the American Revolutionary army. 1826: Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson die. 1831: President James Monroe, the last US president who was a Revolutionary veteran dies...they go in threes on the fourth?! At least his Doctrine endures!

1802: the United State Military Academy at West Point opens; 1863: The Siege of Vicksburg ends: "The Father of Waters (Mississippi) flows unvexed once more"; 1872: Calvin Coolidge the 30th president gets it right and is BORN-Unlike some presidents, “Silent Cal” Coolidge wasn’t known for making memorable statements. The most famous quote associated with him is a line about business being the business of America.
That line is often cited “The business of America is business” or “The business of the American people is business.” In fact, both of those versions are misquotes. They aren’t radically different from what he actually said, which was “the chief business of the American people is business.” Yeah BBY-'Monkey business"! 1960; the fifty star flag recognizing Hawaiian statehood is unfurled- President Clinton later issues an official apology to the Native Hawaiians in 1993 for our annexation in 1893- essentially pineapple fueled 'monkey business'. At least President Grover Cleveland was an outspoken anti-imperialist and thought Americans had acted shamefully in Hawaii. He withdrew the annexation treaty from the Senate and ordered an investigation into potential wrong doings but the business of Manifest Destiny overruled... and I need a good vacation spot (Kauai) to escape all these California tourists! ![]()

1535: Sir Thomas More is executed for treason for failing to sign Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy. At one point Lord Chancellor of England: A man of character, More had charm, unfailing humor, piercing wit, and a fearlessness that enabled him to jest even on the scaffold. His Utopia (published in Latin) is a picture of an ideal state founded entirely on reason.

![]() Quote:
![]() ![]() Poor Captain Kidd was wrongfully executed in a political trial because he could not produce the above privateer documents (Conveniently misplaced for over 200 years) at at his London trial without which he was deemed an outright pirate; after which he was executed by hanging and then hung in chains, tarred, in a Thames estuary for three years, until nothing but bones were left. He should be granted a posthumous pardon. He never betrayed his political financial backers and maintained his innocence to the end. ![]() ![]() ![]()
