#712;rThe Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence is alleg edly the first declaration of independence made in the Thirteen Colonies during the American R evolution. It was supposedly signed on May 20, 1775, at Charlotte, North Carolina, by a committee of citizens of Mecklenburg County, who declared i ndependence from Great Britain after hearing of t he battle of Lexington. If the st ory is true, the Mecklenburg Declaration preceded the United States Declaration of Independenc e by more than a year. The authenticity of the Mecklenburg Declaration has been disputed since it was first published in 1819, forty-four years af ter it was reputedly written. There is no conclusive evidence to confirm th e original document's existence, and no reference to it has been found in e xtant newspapers from 1775.
Many professional historians have maintai ned that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence is an inaccurate rende ring of an authentic document known as the Mecklenburg Resolv es. The Mecklenburg Resolves were a set of radical resolutions passed o n May 31, 1775, that fell short of an actual declaration of independence. A lthough published in newspapers in 1775, the text of the Mecklenburg Resolv es was lost after the American Revolution and not rediscovered until 1838. Historians believe that the Mecklenburg Declaration was written in 1800 in an attempt to recreate the Mecklenburg Resolves from memory. According to t his theory, the author of the Mecklenburg Declaration mistakenly believed t hat the Resolves had been a declaration of independence, and so he recreate d the Resolves with language borrowed from the United States Declaration of Independence. Defenders of the Mecklenburg Declaration have argued that bo th the Mecklenburg Declaration and the Mecklenburg Resolves are authentic.< /p> END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260514T093017Z CATEGORIES:Days Until CLASS:PUBLIC ORGANIZER:DaysUntil.com SUMMARY:Memorial Day (May 25th, 2026 at midnight) URL:http://www.DaysUntil.com/Memorial-Day DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260525 DURATION:P1D TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:DaysUntil.com-Memorial-Day-00002026 DESCRIPTION:X-WR-CALDESC:

By the early 20th centu ry, Memorial Day was an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as people visited the graves of their deceased relatives, whether they had se rved in the military or not. It also became a long weekend increasingly dev oted to shopping, family gatherings, fireworks, trips to the beach, and nat ional media events such as the Indianapolis 500 auto race, held s ince 1911 on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.[3]

Jefferson Finis "Jeff" Davis (June 3, 1808 – D ecember 6, 1889) was an American statesman and leader of the Confederacy during the American Civil W ar, serving as President of the Confederate States of America for its e ntire history. Davis was born in Kentucky to Samuel and Jane (Cook) Davis. After attending Transylvania University, Davis grad uated from West Point and fought in the Mexican–American War as a colonel of a volunteer regiment. He served as the United States Secretary of War under Democrati c President Franklin Pierce. Both before and after his time in the Pierce administration, he served as a Democratic U.S. Senator representing the State of Missis sippi. As a senator, he argued against secession, but did agree that each state was sovereign and had an unq uestionable right to secede from the Union.< span>[2]
On February 9, 1861, after Dav
is resigned from the United States Senate, he was selected to be the provis
ional President of the Confederate States of America; he was elected withou
t opposition to a six-year term that November. During his presidency, Davis
took charge of the Confederate war plans but was unable to find a strategy
to stop the larger, more powerful and better organized Union. His diplomatic efforts failed to gain recognition from an
y foreign country, and he paid little attention to the collapsing Confedera
te economy, printing more and more paper money to cover the war's expenses.
Historians have criticized Davis for being a much less effective war leade
r than his Union counterpart Abraham Lincoln, which they attribute
to Davis being overbearing, controlling, and overly meddlesome, as well as
being out of touch with public opinion, and lacking support from a politica
l party (since the Confederacy had no political parties).[3] His preoccupation with
detail, reluctance to delegate responsibility, lack of popular appeal, feu
ds with powerful state governors, inability to get along with people who di
sagreed with him, neglect of civil matters in favor of military ones—
all these shortcomings worked against him.[4]

In his first h undred days in office, which began March 4, 1933, Roosevelt spearheaded major legislation and issued a profusion of executive orders that institut ed the New Deal—a variety of programs designed to produce relief (governmen t jobs for the unemployed), recovery (economic growth), and reform (through regulation of Wall Street, banks and transportation). The economy improved rapidly from 1933 to 1937, but then relapsed into a deep recession. The bi partisan Conservative Coalition t hat formed in 1937 prevented his packing the Supreme Court or passing any cons iderable legislation; it abolished many of the relief programs when unemplo yment diminished during World War II. Most of the regulations on business w ere ended about 1975–85, except for the regulation of Wall Street by the Securitie s and Exchange Commission, which still exists. Along with several small er programs, major surviving programs include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which was created in 1933, and Social Security, which Congress passed in 1935.

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in rel ation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox.[8] Ecclesiastically, th e equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, as tronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is n ot necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefor e varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Christianity< /a> bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March co rresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian c alendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

At the beginning of the American Revolution, Jefferson se rved in the Continental Congress, representing Virginia. He then served as a wartime Governor of Virginia (1779&nd ash;1781). Just after the war ended, from mid-1784 Jefferson served as a di plomat, stationed in Paris, initially as a commissioner to help negotiate c ommercial treaties. In May 1785, he became the United States Minister to France. He was the first United States Secretary of State (1790–1793) during the administration of President George Washington. Upon resigning his office, with his close friend Jam es Madison he organized the Democratic-Repu blican Party. Elected Vice-President in 1796, under his opponent John Adams, Jefferson with Madison secretly wrote the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which attempted to nullif y the Alien and Sedition Acts and formed the basis of states' rights.
Elected president in what Jefferson called the Revolution of 1800, he oversaw a pea ceful transition in power, purchased the vast Louisiana Territory from France (1803), and sent the Lewis and C lark Expedition (1804–1806) to explore the new west. His second t erm was beset with troubles at home, such as the failed treason trial of hi s former Vice President Aaron Burr, and escalating trouble with Britain. With Britain at war with Napoleon, he tried aggressive economic warfare against them; however, his embargo laws did more damage to America n trade and the economy, and provoked a furious reaction in the Northeast. Jefferson has often been rated in scholarly surveys as one of the gr eatest U.S. presidents, though since the mid-twentieth century, some hi storians have increasingly criticized him for his failure to act against do mestic slavery.[1][2]

The president leads the executive branch of th e federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.
Article II of the U.S. Constit
ution vests the executive power of the United States in the president a
nd charges him with the execution of federal law, alongside the responsibil
ity of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial o
fficers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The pre
sident is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves, and to convene an
d adjourn either or both houses of Congress under ext
raordinary circumstances.
The inauguration of the President of the United States takes place during the commencement of a new term of a President of the United States, which is every four ye ars on January 20. Prior to the Twentieth Amendment, the date was March 4. The day a presidential inauguration occurs is known as "Inaugurati on Day".
The only inauguration element mandated by the United States Constitution is that the President make an oath or affirmation before that person can "enter on the Execution" of the office of the presidency. However, over the years, various traditions have arisen that have expanded the inauguration from a simple oath-taking c eremony to a day-long event, including parades, speeches, and balls.
