Since North Carolina is in the midst of a nigh-unstoppable monsoon, most of the western half of the state is rescheduling the festivities.
Let's dance, boys!
EUREKA!
I can't help but think of What I'm Made Of.
Also, how do British people teach this...
Your Honor...
Over there it's known as National Shame Day.

@Disco Dancer:
We don't really give two hoots from what I've seen. In my case I'm just kind of like "Good on you, keep on fighting the good fight". British history classes, quite understandably, teach British history - so though it undoubtedly gets mentioned, I doubt it's seen as awkward or discussed too much, especially since (in the grand scheme of things) more important stuff was going down for the Empire in Europe. At least, if memory serves.
So congrats, America! Please ignore my hastily cobbled together invasion fleet; last one to the White House is a rotten egg!

We don't. The American Revolution is merely a footnote in British history. Its not actually very important. It was one military defeat.
Anyway, happy Freedom Day, America! Enjoy your French fries that aren't French, and enjoy your hamburgers that aren't from Hamburg.
The war of 1812 shall occur again!

Aww, all this attention for my granddad's birthday. I'm touched.

Yes, frankfurters are from Frankfurt.
Also, the value of the dollar versus the euro and the pound rose today. Coincidence?

Probably.
I thought hamburger is a burger made of ham?

My History of Western Civilization teacher, who is from the Middle East, told us to read the Declaration of Independence as homework yesterday.
Have a video of everyone's favorite Revolution cartoon:

Nope. Hamburgers are made from beef. They're called hamburgers because legend has it that they were invented in Hamburg, Bavaria.

But Hamburg isn't even in Bavaria, far from it. About as far as it could be, actually!

@ VATER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SAID BAVARIA. I FORGOT HAMBURG IS A CITY-REGION, LIKE BERLIN.
That's what you think.

Hamburgers are made of beef? My whole life is a lie! What about cheeseburgers? Does legend say they are invented in Cheeseburg, [insert a random European country here]? 
You were reading the news about the protesting in Bavaria I presume?

Saying hamburgers are made of beef is like saying pizza is made of fruit.
Anyway, if you want American National Shame Day, try this

Legend says that one day, someone was eating a hamburger and thought "Huh, this'd be even better with some cheese." And right they were.
@Hopey: It's not city-states and Länder, it's Hamburg being all North Sea maritime trading while Bavaria is at best 160 km from the sea and that's talking Adriatic. They're at completely different ends of the country, for crying out loud!
