I don't really like "most" holidays, (more for emotional reasons than for anything tangible) but this is a good one I think.

The first "real" large-scale democratic experiment that worked, good for us Americans and generally good for the world to have a democratic-republic model that actually functions and got rid of monarchy/aristocracy in much of the world by example over time. Flaws? Sure. But dammit, it IS a very positive thing. Yay. Also despite my bias toward pointing out flaws in america, I do love the USA despite its flaws. =)

Plus I've sota gone to my happy place about holidays despite their (mostly) misguided origins (or misunderstanding of their origins) an excuse to wish people positive vibes? hard to be to negative about that.
