The Liberty Bell was cast.
It was also the year in which England adopted the Gregorian calendar. As a result of this, there was rioting in the streets when people thought that they were going to lose 11 days of their lives because the new calendar required that September 1752 have only 17 days in it.
This was necessary because the difference between the Julian calendar and the Gregorian one now added 11 days to the year. Over time this difference would have increased due to the lack of a leap year in the Julian calendar which adds a 1/4 of a day every four years.
The new formatting is EXCELLENT.

That's second time there's been a Rodney Marsh question and the biting midge is nowhere to be seen."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."
