Signing of the Declaration of Independence? Adoption of the Bill of Rights? Finalizing the Louisiana Purchase? Lewis and Clark’s Expedition? The Monroe Doctrine? The Emancipation Proclamation? Lee’s surrender to Grant at Appomattox? Lincoln’s assassination? Union Pacific railroad meeting Central Pacific? Enacting Reconstruction?
