"Col. Robert Gould Shaw attended his final Fourth of July celebration exactly two weeks before leading the men of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry in its charge at Battery Wagner." Do read his letter, quoted here, with its hope for the future. https://t.co/OCLljtaQD9 — PolitiTweet.org

"...not alone to the people of this country, but, I hope, to the world, for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weight would be lifted from the shoulders of all men." -- Abraham Lincoln, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Feb. 22, 1861 — PolitiTweet.org

"As we approach the celebration of the 246th anniversary of American independence, you might have noticed that all is not wonderful in our fair land. You may ask, where are the silver linings to the dark clouds that hover so threateningly over us?" https://t.co/DozrboOcgu — PolitiTweet.org

"The familiar first stanza is one long question." I've always been struck by this point. Is ours the only national anthem that's a question not an assertion? (Yes, the question's answered in the subsequent stanzas, but we tend to sing only the first.) https://t.co/X6KcznmQdt — PolitiTweet.org

159 years ago today. Pickett's Charge reaches "the high-water mark of the Confederacy." Or should we reject a term from Lost Cause historiography, and call it Hancock's Stand, or the Victory at Cemetery Ridge? Why not call a decisive victory in a just cause after the victors? — PolitiTweet.org

July 4th is the anti-MAGA holiday: It stands for equal rights, consent of the governed, leaders with honor, and the belief we can help others enjoy these rights and secure government by consent of the governed. As the key American holiday, July 4th stands against 'America First.' — PolitiTweet.org

"Lincoln noted the Declaration’s guarantee of freedom belonged to immigrants as much as the native born: 'They have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood and flesh of the flesh of the men who wrote that Declaration, and so they are.'" https://t.co/ocl9W3wOR1 — PolitiTweet.org

"'O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?' When sung, the words sound declarative. Key, though, is restating the question from the first line of the song. Can anyone see it? Does the flag fly?" https://t.co/X6KcznmQdt — PolitiTweet.org

"Liz Cheney has stepped forward to be a rebuke and stumbling-block to today’s threats of lawlessness and usurpation.Perhaps she is also a harbinger of better things to come as we enter our 247th year in the great journal of things happening under the sun." https://t.co/DozrboOcgu — PolitiTweet.org
