The Second Continental Congress was a very serious, thoughtful body of men who did not shirk their duties. They often worked very long hours, six days a week, and might have gone for seven had it not been for, y’know, God stepping in and commanding, “Hey, none of that. That’s My day.”

So the fact that Congress chose to knock off early one day—and a Tuesday, besides—suggests that maybe they really needed this one.
