Sorry....wrong....
Do you give up?
hehehe nope...just not at work and I chat more on irc when I'm home
5th of July 1776??
I know it was voted and approved on the 4th
Oh hmm I looked it up and it was July 2nd, 1776. Stupid history book writer, always making up dates and reasons.
That was really interesting, it just goes to show how people, politics, or stupidity can change history. Its like why did the American's have a civil war. If you asked most American's (If they knew we had civil war, I don't how some people make it through life) why we fought the civil war, most people would say, to free the slaves. When actually, Lincoln said repeatedly before the war, and even during the war, up to the point of the Emancipation Proclamation, that he did not want to free the slaves. In fact the only real reason he did so (Which again, history distorts, he really did not "free" them) was to gain more troops in the Union Army.
The main reason, even though there were many, we had a civil war was $$. The South made more money than the North, because of all its exports, like cotton. Lincoln knew that with out the Souths vast resources and $$ the North would be in trouble. Thats why we went to war. Nothing noble, good or pure. Just for plan old $$. In fact if you think about it most things in history, both good and bad, were done for mainly $$ and/or religion.
Anyway if I got John Handcock right, I got one. Why did the Boston Tea Party happen?
Wasn't it in protest of the Stamp Act, or Intolerable Acts, or some Act...?
Well thats what historians want you to believe, that they were protesting a tax on Tea, by the English. Which is where, supposedly, no taxation with out representation came from. But that is not the true reason for it.
All the taxes on the tea from the British Indian Company were dropped except for the townshed tax so that they could become a monopoly. This actually made the tea cheaper than any tea seller in America, so the American's were mad because they didn't want the company's in America to loose all of their business to the British Indian Company. Therefore, they ruined the supplies from the British Indian Company to save the American businesses.
Am I right?
Very Expensive tea Party ! :)
smh got it. Not such a noble thing was it. ;)

Who was the President of the United States for exactly one day ?
William Henry Harrison
William Henry Harrison was President for 1 MONTH. Is that what the question was meant to be? I don't know of anything for 1 DAY.
David Rice Atchinson
David Rice Atchinson was President of the United States for exactly one day. Polk was scheduled to step down from office at noon on Sunday, March 4, 1849. You see President-elect Zachary Taylor was a religious man and refused to be sworn in on a Sunday. It was the Sabbath. Taylor insisted on waiting until Monday the Fifth. Vice President Dallas would normally sit in for that day, but he stepped down on Friday the Second. Under the law, the Presidency then fell to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, David Rice Atchinson.
Wow....Must have been long before my time...
