The 4th of July and the pulling down of objectionable statues in protest have coincided before!
The Declaration had thrust all blame onto the king, and its public proclamation set off an open, symbolic murder, and funeral, for the king—an inversion of a King's Birthday celebration.

How could that be?
The second set of daughters were the children of Paul and another wife named Irma Fisher. Irma posed as Jennie May in the census, so that Paul couldn't be accused of being...
