One might as well wonder why Americans persist in celebrating on the 4th of July, when the US realistically more-or-less completed becoming a nation on, um, well, perhaps Oct. 18th, or June 21st, or July 26th, or March 4th, or May 29th, or even Dec. 24th. Because that's when the US officially declared independence from Britain. The ratification of the Constitution is irrelevant, as it's not the document which established or named the United States. Neither is it relevant when other countries recognized the US, or stopped fighting against it. -- Keith F.
