Yes. It was that day in which , in my opinion, the greatest country of all, The United States of America, declared its independence from Great Britain. Thus Sparking the American Revolutionary War (which had begun, but not fully). Which lasted from Dawn of April 19, 1775, to 1783.

"May 20, 1775 is the date of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence while April 12, 1776 is the date of the Halifax Resolve. Both documents played a big part in the American independence movement." The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was signed in Charlotte, NC on May 20, 1775 and signed by the citizens of Mecklenburg County. The document is believed to be the first declaration from Great Britain, and according to dates was signed over a year before the Declaration of Independence. The document was created following the battle of Lexington, the first battle of the American Revolutionary War. The Halifax Resolves were the first resolution given by a colony to its delegates to join other colonies in the declaration of independence from Great Britain. It did not instruct the delegates to introduce a "resolution of independence", only to join in a declaration of independence.
