“In 1938, Congress changed Independence Day to a paid federal holiday.[22]” This is factually incorrect, the above occurred in 1941. Look up, https://www.calendarr.com/united-states/independence-day/amp/

Not done: Nope, it was 1938, the source you list is incorrect, the law is easily findable. Even Time magazine agrees, 1938. Fbifriday (talk) 08:03, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
