COT:
How does June 24th matter when it comes to the Declaration of Independence?
Here’s a basic rundown of it.
June 7th – Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented initial resolution for independence.
June 11th – foundations for the document were laid
June 11th – Committee of Five. Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Roger Sherman, Robert R Livingston. Jefferson chosen to draft Declaration
June 28th – Presented to Congress.
Congress debated and revised it between July 1st and the 4th.
Formally adopted by Congress on July 2nd.
The www.google.com/search?safe=active&cs=1&sca_esv=a644fcbfba2a63ce&sxsrf=AE3TifMZhh5JTXJ4JOD-ennCuxqCHym8qQ%3A1750716996991&q=Continental+Congress&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiA3L6FyYiOAxXev4kEHVd-FnQQxccNegQIExA… voted to declare independence from Great Britain on July 2, 1776.

The delegates then spent the next two days revising and finalizing the text of the www.google.com/search?safe=active&cs=1&sca_esv=a644fcbfba2a63ce&sxsrf=AE3TifMZhh5JTXJ4JOD-ennCuxqCHym8qQ%3A1750716996991&q=Declaration+of+Independence&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiA3L6FyYiOAxXev4kEHVd-FnQQxccN…. This final, approved version was officially adopted on July 4th.

So, on June 24th, 1776, the Committee of Five, appointed on June 11th, was likely engaged in the process of drafting the Declaration of Independence, which was presented to Congress later that week. No specific significant event directly linked to the Declaration of Independence is recorded as occurring on that particular day.

However, the critical activities related to the Declaration leading up to July 4th were the drafting by the Committee of Five, the presentation to Congress, and the subsequent debates and revisions. Without this work done by our forefathers, significant events would not have followed.

June 24th is important because even though the efforts of that day are not recorded or celebrated, they were essential in process that became independence for America. Don’t ever think your work and preparation, even though they aren’t seen by others, aren’t significant.

COT: Growing up, my friends & I loved to drive up to Townsend, to the Wye, & jump off the cliffs into the water. The toughest part was not the jump itself but thinking about the jump. For the guys who are out here, that want to Q but might be overthinking it, I say, take that leap. It gets a little easier each time.
