Why 4th July doesn't feel like a celebration in 2025, with America under authoritarian rule. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS



Americans will mark Independence Day with flags, parades, and fireworks. The traditions endure, even as the democratic ideals they’re meant to celebrate appear increasingly hollow. It’s been 249 years since the United States broke away from British rule, and over the past year, it seems to have broken away from the global order it once helped shape, and from the foundational principles of reason and integrity. Within the U.S., this unraveling feels like a national crisis. From outside its borders, it resembles an unplanned, chaotic revolution. This Fourth of July, the message from the world is clear: it, too, is seeking independence - from America. - 07/03/2025.

The last men of the American Revolution - BBC Global



In 1864, as the new art form of photography was gaining popularity, someone had the forethought to trace the last living Revolutionary soldiers and take their photographs.

The six images now hold great significance to the US and copies are kept in the Library of Congress.

But what is the real story behind each veteran and, despite being aged 100-years-old or more, were they really the last surviving Revolutionaries?

Made with thanks to the Library of Congress and Don N. Hagist, author of 'The Revolution's Last Men: The Soldiers Behind the Photographs'.
