Does England have a special day with fireworks as spectacular as those their 'American cousins' enjoy on the 4th of July? Certainly it does. It is the 5th of November, when in 1605, thirteen young men planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Among them was Guy Fawkes, Britain's most notorious traitor. The attempt was unsuccessful, the conspirators were caught and executed, but:
REMEMBER, REMEMBER
THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER
GUNPOWDER TREASON AND PLOT
AND I SEE NO REASON
WHY GUNPOWDER TREASON
SHOULD EVER BE FORGOT
More details can be found in the essay done by Oleksandr PETLIN of Group 12-E. You can read about Guy Fawkes HERE .
