John Hancock (1737-1793), an American merchant and Revolutionary Leader, was the President of the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts. The first member of the Continental Congress to sign the Declaration of Independence. On November 8th, 1783, Governor Hancock, from Boston, Massachusetts, issued A Proclamation for a Day of Thanksgiving to celebrate the victorious conclusion of the Revolutionary War: John Hancock, Esquire, Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts A Proclamation for a Day of Thanksgiving Whereas…these United States are not happily rescued from the Danger and Calamities to which they have been so long exposed, but their freedom, sovereignty and Independence ultimately acknowledged. And whereas…the interposition of Divine Providence in our Favor hath been abundantly and most graciously manifested, and the citizens. Were not the Cushites and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers of chariots and horsemen? Yet when you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand. For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war (2 Chronicles 16:8-9 Think about it America!🙏🏻🇺🇸
