YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

July 4 1776 was not the day the US was born; that didn't happen until ratification of the Constitution in 1789. What happened 250 years ago was the articulation of the idea of human equality in the Declaration of Independence, that went on to shape American national identity. Being an American is not a matter of ancestry, but of believing in those ideas contained in the Declaration that we celebrate on July 4.
