250 Is a Lot of Candles
The following entry was originally posted on the Boosterrific! Blog as the very first in the series of "secret history" posts on July 2, 2013, when a youthfully naive USA was preparing to celebrate her 237th birthday and you could still trust everything you saw on the Internet.
On July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress passed Virginian Richard Henry Lee's resolution for independence from Great Britain, and thus was born the United States of America.
The adoption of the declaration of that new-found independence two days later is what we now celebrate, but the real secret of America's independence is the role that Booster Gold played in ensuring it ever happened.
What really happened in Independence Hall in the summer of 1776? The world may never know.
