For The 4th Of July, "La Santa Cecilia" Expands The Meaning Of Patriotism

Alan: By technicality, my hometown - Hillsborough, North Carolina - was founded within The Spanish Empire. 

Although the British Empire had long been de facto sovereign in The Carolinas, the de jure treaty system that prevailed in Europe did not formally dissolve La Tierra de Ayllón until nearly a decade after Hillsborough was founded in 1754. http://northcarolinahistory.org/encyclopedia/lucas-vasques-de-ayllon-1475-1526/
