  • Today Is ... April 12th - Halifax Day

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Sat Apr 12 23:10:52 2025
    Also known as Halifax Resolves Day, Halifax Resolutions Day, Halifax Independence Day,
    or Halifax Resolutions of Independence Day, this is the day on which, in the spring of
    1776, North Carolina's delegates to the Second Continental Congress were given permission to join with representatives from other colonies in declaring their independence from British rule.

    As the first official sanction of separation from Great Britain, the Halifax Resolutions
    helped lay the groundwork for the American Revolution.

    Halifax Day observances take place in Halifax with reenactments and living history
    camps.

    As that is the first town I think of when I hear Halifax, it took me a
    minute. ;)
