Yesterday in History

I was remiss; Due to being on the road most of yesterday I never got around to posting Today in History.
Most so-called "Constitutional Scholars" have no idea what happened on June 21, 1788. On that day, New Hampshire became the last of the required nine states to ratify the US Constitution, making it the law of the land. The holdouts were Rhode Island, Virginia, New York, and North Carolina. Why this is not a National Holiday is beyond me. Why it is not taught in schools as the vitally important historical date it is remains a mystery.
North Carolina ratified the Constitution when the Bill of Rights was proposed.
A little known fact I have mentioned recently is that Virginia, Rhode Island, and New York, the last three states, only ratified the Constitution after including the option of secession as a condition of that ratification.
When Rhode Island finally ratified it was May 29th of 1790

Thank you for this information. This bit of American history should be better known to ALL Americans, and does deserve far more attention.
