That moment when you´re watching this as a German. And you get to know that John Green is more amazing than you thought because he doesn´t just write amazing books but also teaches you something. Thank you :)

As someone born on July 2, I agree with John Adams about how we should celebrate the day.

Surely calling it 'Independence Day' is a real punch the face to Native Americans?

God bless the USA!!

I'm from the Netherlands. Don't know much about American history. But what about the native Americans at the time Europeans brutal murdered to make it their country?? Isn't it rude to celybrate a day like that and do not pay any attention on that subject? Its the same like islam taking over Europe and in a few years they would celebrate it, while many people would be killed or oppressed (sorry for my bad english)
